"A house is just a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more stuff." - George Carlin
Our new barn is jam-packed with all our "stuff." I've opened many boxes, but have topped out with no more room for things in our little house. So far, nothing from our shipment is damaged, which is a miracle.
The movers were not the professionals we expected; they were four 16 and 17 year-old street kids from the Montevideo port. One was homeless and none had eaten all day. We fed them and they did their best, but it was 95 degrees for the 7 hours it took to unload. They had no dolly, moving straps, or even a ramp for the truck.
Our wonderful Canadian friends stayed by my side the whole time. I have no idea what I would have done without them. At least everything made it here; that is a blessing. We will soon find a spot for things.
