Just for the record when I talk about Kansas City, I am referring to the MISSOURI side…..pronounced MISSOUREEEEE )
I learned some new things and I LOVE LEARNING NEW THINGS and so these go my my list of FAVORITE MEMORIES.
I learned how to put up mini-blinds….
It took a bit longer that the 15 Min. that the instructions promised!
I learned to install a toilet paper holder……….
This is the Toilet Paper Holder - BEFORE IT FELL OFF!
….and here I am REALLY PUTTING UP a towel bar (not as easy as it looks!) By the way, if you lose the screw you are in BIG TROUBLE….:):) Let me tell you, these screws are VERY TINY!!!!
sao putting up a towel rack.....
It was LOTS of fun cleaning out the attic – such treasures we found!!!! Some things we found were really antique treasures – but we had to laugh at the pair of chopsticks up there – wonder who was saving those – in the attic!?
CHOP STICKS IN THE ATTIC?
ATTIC TREASURES
AND….my glasses broke while moving – yes and these were my SPARE GLASSES because my good new ones broke BEFORE I left on this trip….can you believe it?! Now you are probably WONDERING why I am talking about broken glasses in the middle of a blog entry about my FAVORITE MEMORIES from the move (some of you are thinking – that sao needs to get a life!!!!)
Glasses got repaired at COSTCO
Well we went to Costco to get my glasses fixed and while we were there we ATE – yes we ATE AT COSCO – not at the Country Club Plaza – but Costco. My sister-in-law, Elaine, and sister-in-love, Chris, and brother Fred were laughing our heads off. Not only were we eating at COSTO but my necklace broke – they were little magnetic beads….and they went bouncing all over Costco…. BELIEVE ME MAGNETIC BEADS BOUNCE HIGH AND FAR ON CONCRETE FLOORS. So we were giggling and crawling in the aisles trying to catch beads…..and we were trying to act dignified!
Our FINE DINING EXPERIENCE - with NO BEADS on sao!
Laughter is great for mental health! We managed to do a lot of laughing – let me tell you. Perhaps the funniest part of the move of all was when the people who were buying Fred and Elaine’s house unexpectedly brought in four carloads of neighbors and relatives a day early……they brought in things – like boxes and dresser drawers….and they filled the pantry with food…..yes and had a picnic while we were in the process of packing and cleaning. They were so happy to be having their first meal in the house! Don’t you just love to see people having fun and celebrating life? We, on the other hand, felt a little awkward and someone’s sister even came in and asked Elaine and I if WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THERE! LOL
After emptying the attic, we were getting ready to leave so I went searching for Abby their dog and she was SLEEPING in one of the new owner’s dresser drawers! Too funny! (I promise, it really was funny but maybe you had to be there and be very tired and very cold to see the humor!)
Abby camping out in the new owner's dresser drawer!
This drawer belongs to a high school boy – and I just hope that he doesn’t have a girlfriend with dark hair who would NOT UNDERSTAND why blonde hairs were on his undershirts!!! And, of course the poor guy would be TOTALLY innocent and would REALLY have NO IDEA how the blonde hairs got there!
We took out time to toast to the NEW YEAR….HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 – it seems like only yesterday that we were thinking about what would happen when 2000 began!!!
Happy New Year 2010
….and we listened to my Daddy play the organ…..

I got to see my new grand neice or grand nephew *the BABY BUMP* who visited with mommy Amanda and BIG SISTER, Tara Lynn…..

Big Brother, Preston, took a car ride on Great Uncle Fred…..
Preston Drives the UNCLE FRED CAR!
AND we managed to take time to get our semi-annual SILLY BROTHER PICTURE…….these are my three goofy brothers…..they are wearing two VERY BEAUTIFUL purses that I crocheted for my mother…….
…and they have managed to spread the silly gene to yet another generation – nephew Joey joins the SILLY PICTURE CREW!
Four funny guys!
We did manage to take a serious family picture…..

Here are all of the Albertsons who came to celebrate the move to the two new houses!
