The final push

Although Tim has been really great in that everytime he drove from Brooklyn to Saratoga this summer he took a full truck load of our things, we still had quite a bit in Brooklyn that needed to be moved up. Friday afternoon we rented a 16 foot Ryder truck. Dad, Tim and I hopped in and drove to the apartment. We had a lovely dinner at Patois, one of our favorite restaurants in our neighborhood. It was a bittersweet meal. Happy to be closing one chapter, but saying "good bye" is always tough.

We were up by 6am on Saturday to finish the packing and load up the truck. Dad finally got to see the deck we built.
Luckily for us, Sackett Street was planning an evening block party so the street was closed and parking right in front of our building was no problem.

It continues to amaze me how much stuff Tim and I are capable of fitting into a place. The kitchen had to be packed up but most everything else was boxed and ready to go. We had two light fixtures to take down and reinstall the old, but that was it. How in the world did it possibly take us 9 HOURS to load the stinking truck I ask you?!!? AND, we filled the truck...16 foot truck, FILLED!


We really loved our neighborhood and our neighbors. They will be missed. We close this chapter and move on to the next...
