There are lots of things you have to consider when you make a move. When you have three kitties, it is important to try to minimize their trauma. We have three cages to attempt to keep them safe during transit... but two days on the road is a long time to be confined to such small quarters. I have their cages airing out, and thought it would be good to let them get some familiar smells on the blankets that will go inside. Didn't take long for all three to be camping out on those new blankies that just happen to be on the floor just for them... mission accomplished. Shorty definitely claimed the blue one.
By the way, in case you didn't get the update... Ohio turns out to not be where we feel we should be. We are in the process of moving back to our great town... Floresville, Texas. Six months of Ohio winter was enough to get the momentum going for our return to sunny south Texas. Spring is here in Ohio and things are greening up real nice, but winter will be back in a few months. With our last move very fresh in our memory... I told Ron that I thought it would be good to have some cots to get us up off the floor. Getting up off the floor, even with a thick fluffy air mattress to sleep on, is not fun at our age. Besides, the last time our queen size air mattress sprang a leak and we ended up on the floor. Ron's memory of sleeping on a cot was not favorable, as he said it was like sleeping on the hard floor... that's where the new cot size air mattresses came in. I got online and ordered our sleeping accommodations for our last night in Ohio and the first few days after we arrive back in Texas before the moving van arrives. We could stay at a hotel, but that means the kitties would not be happy. I'm thinking we should be pretty comfortable.
We have been doing lots of running around as we are preparing for this big move. Most the time when I go by the corner where this bike shop is, I am driving so I can't take a picture. Ron was driving yesterday when we stopped at the light at this intersection. Not many bike shops can have a bike from this vintage on display. Lancaster is a very old town with lots of history.
