THE LAST MOVING AND CLEANING OF DAUGHTER'S HOUSE

Extra sleep this cold morning felt good as hubbie and I both are getting spoiled with these leisurely quiet mornings.
Although schools are closed today and it is an optional workday they asked employees not to come to work before 10am to give them time to clear some of the ice around the schools.
We did chores on another 11 degree freezing morning but thankfully the wind has calmed down. Overnight wind gust put ripples in the snow.

This scene doesn't look any different than it did yesterday morning and neither does the road which still looks like a sled run.

#1 son didn't work today , there isn't much grading work to be done with all this snow and ice on the ground so he stayed home with his 2 kids while d-in-love went to work at the elementary school.
Daughter was afraid to try it out our road so she took IR to school with her in hopes IR would take a nice nap so she could get some work done.
This is going up our road to the high school.

And this was the entrance to the school, thankfully she made it okay with her all-wheel drive.

Hubbie and I spent the morning doing housework here. I advertised the 7 roosters from the late Fall hatch and with the bad weather haven't had much interest but today a man called and wanted all of them. I told him it would be better to come after them Saturday but he insisted on coming today.
He only made it half way up the driveway so hubbie and I caught them and took them down to meet him in hubbie's truck.
At least they are gone and I don't have to worry about someone being here on Saturday to deal with it.
We ate lunch then got ready to head over to daughter's house to begin the last of the moving and cleaning. Her closing is tomorrow at 2pm.
The sun is shining brightly and it has just got above the freezing point to 33 degrees as we started out.
The roads are still very icy and I decided to park my Honda up at the church on the road her house is on until we saw how bad the curves were on the road. As we approached the curves we saw a couple trucks stop to take them out of 4-wheel drive so we knew it must be bad. Hubbie put his in 4-wheel and we eased around a wrecker that was pulling a truck from the ditch in one of the curves and we made it, whew!!!
Thankfully most of her driveway gets morning sun and had the snow melted off it but hubbie had brought a shovel just in case he needed it and he had to shovel the snow away from the garage doors so we wouldn't slip and fall going in and out.

Daughter got off work early and came in right behind us and thankfully IR decided to take a good nap and let us all work.  Son-in-love also got off work early and was there to help.

All four of us worked from 2:00 until 4:45 to get everything out and the house cleaned. It looks really good for the walk through in the morning at 11am.

It was kind of sad to see it sell but after the icy road getting to it I am glad for them to move closer to work and get off that hill.
Now I pray that God's will be done in their next house hunt.
When hubbie and I got home it was a late chore time again. As we were doing the chores we turned Rocky, Tif's dog out of his lot for his daily run and today he looked like a possessed dog and took off in a flash and wouldn't heed any of our calls and whistles as he usually does.
We hurriedly finished out chores  and then walked around the farm calling and looking for him until well after dark finding no signs at all of him. It was as if he had disappeared.
We came inside and called all the neighbors but no one had seen him which is really weird.
He does have a tag on him with #2 son's phone number on it so hopefully someone will find him and call. Also we will try to track him in the morning in the snow to see which direction he went.
Hubbie and I are both really pooped tonight but are happy everything worked out and prayerfully the closing will go as scheduled tomorrow.
We watched a NC State / Wake Forest basketball game which State won and then headed for bed.
Thankful for the blessings of safe travel for everyone today and for the never ending love and care of a Wonderful Savior.
God Bless and Good Night.
