Bob: Up at 5 this morning. Going to the temple with the YSA members at 7 this morning. Then at 10 we are headed to Orillia to close another apartment. That is about an hour and a half north depending on traffic. Yesterday was spent at the office. Got home at 6, ate and then Bonnie went grocery shopping while I did the wash. Once we were done we went to bed to rest for today. Will let you know how it goes. On the 21st we will be in Sudbury to close an apartment. That is the Stake we were in last summer.
Not many problems with the move today except one. We started to unbolt the headboard from the bed rails and we couldn't turn the nuts. Got out the toolbox my predecessor left me. There was a set of small sockets in it. Found the right size socket and then started to put it on the ratchet. Oops. The ratchet was 3/8 and all the sockets were 1/4. Don't know who thought that socket set was any good. Sent the Elders to the store to get an adapter and a crescent wrench. They finally got back and we started again. We could not turn one of the nuts with a socket and wrench. I can't imagine how they got the nut on the bolt. The nut is seized to the bolt, but not tight against anything. Bed rail just flops around. Next stop at the hardware store and I'm getting a hacksaw!!
Hope everyone is enjoying their day. Love to everyone.

Bonnie: I had a good time today, although I wasn't much help moving the furniture. It started with unloading the trailer into a storage unit. The Church rents a storage unit for the very purpose of moving furniture, etc in and out of apartments. Then, when we arrived in Orillia, the Elders took care of most of the loading and unloading. It was nice because the owner said we could leave all of the furniture there and she would have Salvation Army pick it up. There wasn't much we took from there. Next stop was Wendy's, (really fun with four Elders!) followed by the "new" apartment. What an improvement over the old one! After we unloaded their furniture, we had to load some of the furniture in this apartment into the trailer because it wasn't needed. Then, we went back to the storage unit and Bob and I (mostly Bob) put a large table, a queen bed and box springs and a couch there. Then, it was back to the mission office, where we found the APs working hard on transfers, and then back to our apartment. What can I say? Just that I am thankful that church doesn't start until noon tomorrow!
May you all enjoy your Sabbath Day--
Love,
Mom/ Bonnie
