Picking up our furniture at the consignment shops

This morning our friend Ron met us at the house and we drove down to the Budget truck rental and picked up the truck Mike had reserved on-line for today. Mike and Ron rode in the truck and followed me to our first stop of the day - Kaleidoscope Consignments. The owner of the shop was there and he helped Mike and Ron load the leather sofa and love seat on the truck. We also picked up a coffee table, end table and dining room table and chairs that we had bought there.

Our next stop was at our friend's Christine's house to pick up our Sleep Number bed that she has so nicely stored in her garage for the last month. Carol was also there so we had a short visit while Mike and Ron loaded the bed (it was in several boxes).

Then it was on to Badcock Furniture where we picked up the 2 swivel recliners and ottomans we had bought there. Our last stop was at
Consignment Gallery in Miracle Mile to pick up the coffee table we got there.

Our last stop for the day was back at the house and by then it was lunch time. We offered to take Ron out for lunch, but he said the City was doing some work by his house and he wanted to go home and check on it and then would be back later this afternoon to help move in the furniture.

Mike and I went to Burger King for lunch and then went back to the RV to give Tinker his lunch.

Ron met us back at the house at 2:00 and Cindi came with him. After showing Ron and Cindi the house, we started unloading the furniture off of the truck. With the 4 of us working, it didn't take too long before all of our "new" furniture was in the house. We visited with Ron and Cindi for a bit before they left to go back home.

We were glad to get back to the RV and just relax this evening. I'm sure we will sleep soundly tonight since we're both tired from furniture moving. Now all we have to do is put the Sleep Number bed together and we can sleep in our new house!
