Now, Where is That?

Part of the joys of moving includes the constant echo, "Now, where is that ____". I could fill in that blank with a number of things like, the hardware to the girl's beds, or the camera docking station, that is needed so we can download all of our pictures to the computer-even the extra cable would be fine, but we can't find that either. These are the things that make moving a tad frustrating. I can find all the broken pieces to toys, and old towells and rags, or a thousand books that we really should donate to another home, but never those few items that are at the top of our list to find. Hopefully tomorrow we will come across them as we get the remainder of the stuff from the storage unit. Of course that won't help with the camera issue since that was a item coming back from New York. It isn't like you can substitute an empty flower pot, that has been sitting on the kitchen cupboard for over a week, to fill in as the needed item- drat! We have plenty of useless stuff that I just don't know what to do with- each box has a few curve balls; the majority has a home, but there are those few items that worked in one place, now they just don't seem to fall naturally into a new spot- designed just for them. These are the items that will likely go into those boxes labeled BYE BYE! Oh the joy!
Now I have to stop writing about it and get back to work- must hurry, we have the Quimby Pipe Organ holiday party at lunch today!

Moving- oh the joys! I'm sure unpacking some of your boxes have been like Christmas come early.

Is it bad if I can't find anything and we DIDN't move anywhere???

Ummmm....we have the girls bed hardware and your camera dock and extra cable are up in my bathroom!! Oh the joys, I too am missing a favorite large picture of my Grace with a lovely frame and it is nowhere to be found. We wish you luck! Oh and I changed my name, Joe will know who I am.

I hear ya! I haven't even found a fraction of the applique templates I need since we moved in August, they are probably hanging out with your camera cord. Good luck! I miss you guys.
