Monday: I hired the same "904 junk removal guys" to move the boxes and bookcase to our home. They were to move the refrigerator, but it is now (temporarily) at Carolyn's house. I drove to Larry's home to meet them and within an hour they were loaded up with my boxes. They also took a few more items from the house, the Victrola, some 78 records, the metal drum/can in the garage (held the yard tools) the glass "barrister" bookcase (from front foyer) and the cute goldish lamp (from Larry's den/bedroom/office) and a small weight scale. I was happy to see them being used, these guys only take what they will use. Once at our home, they quickly unloaded, taking the wood table and chairs to the back deck, the bookcase to the front door/foyer. Ford asked if they would take the two old bags of cement mix - and they did! They explained that they would not "move" people, as it took a different insurance (for accountability/breakage). They agreed to my "move" as I was generous in giving them many things the first time they removed the junk (couches, mattresses, curtains, all "cloth" items that I couldn't put on the curb) and they knew I would understand their policy if they broke anything. Since I packed everything, I don't think I could have held them accountable either way. They are very nice, courteous, efficient, etc.
Ford went to his Parkinson exercises and arrived home after they (Zach and helper) had left. I rearranged the back deck, moved a bench and some plants.
Ford and I went to Suburban to get Justin's truck - all done, new tires and alignment. We then went to lunch at Talons, had not been in many months. Jodie Clark spoke to us, always asking about Alyzabeth and if she will volunteer at NFJG.
Once AA was home, we chatted about her day (she earned a 100 on the psychology quiz, waiting on her history quiz score). She has her speaking Spanish quiz tomorrow. Alyzabeth has so many quizzes and test - from now until school gets out, end of May. She said the teachers want them to puke!
Ford and I drove to Palatka, arrived about 45 minutes before Justin came home from work. We went to Publix and bought him some dinner items, rotisserie chicken, potato salad, fruit and some 2 for 1 items (bread, peanut butter, tortilla chips, bag salad), He seemed happy with the food and truck. He took his Dad, Ford on ride around the block, said it drove smooth. We are glad we could help him, something of a one time "help", a bit of guilt that our Ford150 died on him after just two weeks and back when he was a teenager, half promised him a truck and then bought him a Honda Civic, plus with Kilee in college, he is a bit tight on funds.

We ate takeout Chipolte for dinner, then watch some of the American Idol, top 12 contestants including Julia Gagnon from Maine. A good day!
