Selling Mom's Home

At the end of June Mike and Jimmy and I went to St George to clear out mom's house and sign the papers to sell her home.

Kathy and Fred came on Tuesday night. Early Wednesday morning we were up helping Kathy and Fred to gather up the stuff that Kathy was taking home. We were sure that they would not be able to fit all the stuff in the large truck that they drove but to our surprise they were able to fit it all in!

Mike took this picture as they were pulling out of the drive way. We said that it looked like the Beverly Hillbillies...only with a better truck of course!

After they left I spent the day organizing the rest of the stuff. Some to go to Kevin...some to Brian...some to myself...and some to DI. There wasn't a lot of cleaning to be done but I had to clean the shelves the cabinets, the oven etc. When I turned on the oven to self-clean I forgot that in St. George you can't open a window to let out the smell because it is so hot. We had to abandon the house and go to dinner while the oven was cleaning!

Jimmy and Butters...goofing off.

Jimmy and Butters taking a nap...Butters on the pillow...Jimmy at the foot of the bed! Seemed it should have been the other way around to me!

The weather wasn't too bad while we were in St George. In the evening Jimmy and Butters and I were able to take a walk.

This is a picture of the back of mom's house that I took from the path below by the creek. On Thursday we packed up the stuff that we were taking and on Friday Kevin and Brian came and packed up their trailers. I went in and signed the papers for the house on Friday too.

After Kevin and Brian left I did the last minute cleaning.

Then we put the keys to the house in the drawer, locked the house up, shut the garage door and ran out before it hit us. And with a huge lump in my throat and tears in my eyes we drove away.
