My sister just informed me that when she arrived at mom's Sunday there were only six packed boxes along this wall.
In about 48 hours, she managed to accomplish this much. (Apparently Speed Packing is a fine weight-loss plan because she reports that her new jeans are now falling off!)
I shudder to think what I would have walked into had Ruth not been here before me. Thanks, Sis!

I cannot resist a comment to a post entitled "Homage to Ruth." I sure appreciate a little homage, especially after feeling like such a grunt for the past 36 hours. In truth, I feel like I have had the easier part of the two; it looks and feels satisfying to see all the progress Mom and I achieved in a short period of time. Mary, on the other hand, is managing the final phase of this process and it is much slower going all around. Mom just can't do as much, is more easily overwhelmed. I mean, the stamina required for a move of any scale is always a lot; I can't imagine factoring in the years of living in this one spot and the complications of aging. Anyway, I'm glad this blog exists, and I'm glad the three of us make a good team.
