Moving and Canada

So this was a very busy weekend. Some friends and family were moving my belongings and I was with family in Canada for the last time this year before moving. It was not the smartest weekend to go, because there were numerous winter storm warnings. It still was lots of fun, going and playing cards with friends and spending time with family at the farm. It will be hard not being so close to home again, but North Carolina is definitely closer then Florida.

This is taken at the Woodstock rest area and you can see the weather was not that great. The snow was off and on the whole way from Stevensville to Flint, here being the worse part. It did not help that the wind was blowing over 40 mph with gusts even higher. My arms are very tired from fighting against the wind to keep the car on the rode.

One of the great things about being from Canada, especially Ontario, is that we have great hockey players. This is taken just outside of Brantford, which is the home of Wayne Gretzky, better known as the Great One.

This is just up the hill on the 402 going past Hamilton. It was really snowing. For those who know the area, going across the Skyway in St. Catherines and Burlington was not fun. The wind gusts were incredible. It normally only takes 3/4 of a tank of gas to get from Flint to Stevensville, today with the wind it took 1 1/2 tanks of gas.

So, while I was spending time with family, everyone else was moving my belongings into the new house. Closing did take place this past Friday and Andrew went and got the keys for me. This was, I do not have to go to Florida and then back to North Carolina to move. I can just go straight to North Carolina.

Thankfully they just put everything into the middle of the rooms, so I can just get in there and start painting right away.

Everyone laughed when I said what size of truck that I got, but it was packed right to the back and right to the top.

I think that this might take me some time to sort through. Thankfully the Fehrman's are coming down for Christmas and helping me with the unpacking and painting.
