It easily would have taken us a week-plus to do what they did in 9 hours. Must be skilled technique--theirs not ours.
Thursday dinner would be at Allgauer's in Northbrook a convention center restaurant of memories from the mid-80's to present. Never will forget the time in the mid-90's when Kirk treated me to their amazing seafood buffet. Only time in my life I over ate to the point all I could do was go to my hotel room and crash from 9:00 till morn.
We would motel it at The Fairfield Inn in Glenview our last two nights in Wilmette since we would have no furniture. Never occurred to us till Allgauer's mid-dinner we would have no bedding this last night at 1010 Lake Ave. Let's just say it was a creative night.
June 25th four Mayflower guys knocked on our Wilmette front door at 9:00 a.m. to put the 103 boxes + the furniture into vaults in their Mayflower truck. The Four Guys (not to be confused with the Five Guys) finished their job in 3 hours!!!!!!
The vaults will be stored in Mayflower's warehouse till we finish our 99-Day Trek To Tucson and paint our walls with real southwestern colors instead of the Parsonage Off-White we've been looking at for 39 years.
Kirk completed his last workout at his Wilmette Fitness Center while I rode my last ride up to Great Lake's Naval finishing up at the Glenview Motel. Two baby fox were romping on the McGlory Path. Hard to believe the next time I ride this route I'll be a visitor.

Dinner this night after packing with the Piggotts at Glenview's Wildfire reminiscing 33 years of friendship beginning with the birth of Katie in 1978; potty parties and gum balls to inspire the little ones to give up their diapers; and culminating in 2011 with a passel of grandchildren and retirement for all.
It sounds like you got the right kind of help. It must be hard to leave after so many years in the same place!! No doubt that you will have lots of visitors in the winter!!
