We spent the day emptying the U-Haul, building crates and loading them up to be shipped. Found a few treasures in our stash that I'd forgotten we'd had. My greatest discovery? Jen's baby album that she has been wanting for years. We both thought it had been brought back to Alaska in 1997, so imagine my surprise when I found it in one of our boxes!
Mom had fun too, going through all her things and finding places to put them in her current home. "It's like Christmas all over again!" she exclaimed.
Beginning of Audrey's pile 
Beginning of our pile - top half of my Hoosier cabinet, our pink formica table, old metal bread box... 
Rog & Louie discuss the plan for removing the rest of the items
Our pile is getting larger - bottom of the Hoosier cabinet and our bron table have been added to the mix, as well as more boxes
Audrey's pile has grown substantially as well!
Not much left, now! Audrey's milk separator and sewing machine are on the right; our bed set, cabinet and vanity are along the back wall (the wicker bench is Audrey's)
Audrey's Hoosier cabinet gets set up in her kitchen 
Rog packs the drawers of our cabinet, to fill it for shipping
The bottom of the cabinet gets filled with small boxes, board games and some of my clothing from 11 years ago
The milk separator gets placed in-between the legs of our vanity
Rog's clever method of scooting the heavy crate forward in the truck bed 
Bottom half of my Hoosier cabinet - filled nside with boxes and other items to be shipped back to Alaska
Rog struggles to move the crate forward while Louie works on things in the backyard
Rog prepares to attach the sides and top of the first crate.
