It will be moving day for two families on Tuesday, the 20th of this month. Closing day for both families is the same day. One is a young family of four moving in from their house in Chicago. (Well, actually, they have been staying at a hotel. )The couple moving out are retiring - going back to Texas. Their problem will be to separate the things they want to take back to their Crawford ranch from the items that will go to their new home in the Dallas area.
The retired couple will be flying out that day to another city - Midland, Texas to greet all their old friends from their home town who are organizing a celebration of their homecoming. That's kind of nice!
The family moving in will have to have their bedrooms in order and you can bet their daughters will be making their own beds on Wednesday before leaving for school.
I read that a staff of 93 will be putting all this into effect so that Barack and Michelle will just have to climb the stairs after the ball is over.
(I seem to recall us having only three men move us eleven years ago and they even had time figuring out which was the "great room" which was marked on the most boxes. Typical for the south, our house has one main room which has to be divided by furniture placement to create a living and a dining area.)
Now, the last time the girls were out late (Election Night), they didn't get to school till 10:00 a.m. You remember the fuss and the comment from one of the girls: "Well, that was embarrassing!"
Sometimes we forget how even the most famous people have to go through all the ordinary things we all do. It's just a little more complicated . . .
Now, I do wonder if it will be snowing that day?
