when you consider how much is involved In merely packing the accumulation or two adults two children and one dog However it s one way togct the closets cleaned Bum ago or it ten we had the pleasure of carting our belongings to Southern Ontario in a caravan that would make the Great Western Exodus look like a picnic It was February In the Ottawa Valley a lime when the cold is matched only by the depth of snow Mack was posted to the University of and had departed leaving me to hold fort until he could find a place for us and horses to live We figured this would be spring at least because it no easy job to find a farm in winter Our home was Isolated and the only vehicle we had went to Guelph wilh Mack So we piled the pantry full of food and supplies for me and the babies while my father in law popped in often to see If I was still sane However three weeks later before I had started to pack or sell the remaining stock Mock called to say he d round us a cottage in with a nearby stable for the horses we were bringing with us The cottage was small but would do until we found a form anyway Mack said he wanted some home cooking as soon as possible That was a Thursday night late and he said he d drive the three hundred and fifty miles after work Friday bringing a Haul trailer behind the pickup We were far too poor to be able to hire a moving outfit In such crises I become the epitome of womanly efficiency and organization Things follow a set pattern First I PANIC thenlcallsomebody In this case I phoned my lifelong friend Joan and cried Joan had sensibly avoided getting married when the rest of us did and had spent several years travelling the world At this time she was resting in Montreal until she took off for Mexico Without any preamble she said she would be up the She arrived Friday morning at seven a with a station wagon full of cardboard boxes anda bottle of champagne All day we hummed packed diapered babies and sorted out the stock I spent long hours on the phone selling things like animals baby cribs carriages and organizing the close off for hydro and phone etc My father in law would see about the the farm in the spring By midnight Friday we had made quite a hole in the huge old farm house filled with four years worth of Macks goodies We had piled the dump truck with old boots bam coats Popular Mechanics and electric cords all the treasures he would have packed lovingly if he had been around That was the only move we ever made where I was able throw out great quantities of his collection Mack trundled in around two in the morning announcing he was going to load up and travel straight back Apparently he intended to transport our entire entourage with a truck and trailer making all trips necessary that very weekend completely mundane things as sleep I became hysterical and lay on the dining room table kicking my heels He quietly removed me set me on the floor and packed the table This went on for several hours until he had the load packed virtually by himself and he did he turned around and drove oil the way back Mp By the time he got back to the Valley sometime Saturday Tha Acton Free Pr Wednesday August3 night I had resigned myself to the inevitable waved goodbye sold the remaining horses made arrangements with a friend to board the horses we were going to keep until we could send for them packed all the china and linens clothes and toys and polished off champagne Mack and I loaded once more managing to cram every thing Into the trailer He then fondly loaded the truck withal the lools equipment junk and boxes from his shop had breakfast and took off again I had put my foot down about travelling the distance with him squashed in pickup with two babies and a dog I got the train and was able to rest a bit while the overexcited kids galloped up the aisles They hardly slept all weekend them selves We arrived in Toronto had to change to then make our way to Elora we waited with some friends of Mack until he rolled weaving and trembling Into the drive wayhe hadheonly key to the house It took two days to sort out the mess in the house In his haste he had just piled everything wherever he could Eight rooms of furniture a complete shop and stable were now gracing the five tiny rooms of our new home I finally found my favorite saddle underneath the fridge As you con Imagine there been a lot left out of this saga for the sake of brevity But I always figured I could tackle anything in the way of moving again I was right Eight months later we found a farm north of Rock wood and made the same move in one day including six horses and four hundred boles of hayall with a car and hired flatbed trailer We indulged in a stock truck for the horses If anyone needs advice on moving with a shoestring budget not to mention packing an entire farming operation in portable boxes I your expert PEOPLE PLACES and THINGS Classified advertising is one of the best ways to get your message across and put it all together
