Back in June, I fetched from down home some of the items that I and my sister from Indiana are receiving from my mother's estate. These have been stored in the front parlours since then, awaiting an opportunity for my brother-in-law Tom to fly down and take their items back in a U-Haul.
Today was that day.
It was not a hard packing job but it still pushed us into a later dinner, which I was so intent on getting prepped and on the table that I forgot (for the first time in a very, very long time) to take a photo of it. We went with beef, mushroom, and onion stir fry tonight. It was passable. But it was an unmitigated delight to have time to visit with Tom, who I get to see much too seldom. Indiana feels like a long ways away too much of the time!
