Yesterday my old neighbor Hulda came over and helped me unpack for 4 hours. Not only did she help me carry heavy boxes and haul in furniture, but she also brought me a plate of homemade {from scratch} pumpkin muffins.
I always knew she was AWESOME… but yesterday she turned what was going to be my most crankiest day ever into something much more enjoyable.
She didn’t even gag when she found the box of milk and condiments the HH had packed up in a hurry and forget to stick in the mini fridge last Saturday while we were shacking up at the Best Western.
Do you know what milk SMELLS LIKE after 3 days in a warm garage. Let me tell you, it ain’t Mmm Mmm Good. 😉
Oh, and when she found the HH’s expertly packed SUITCASE FULL OF GLASS… she didn’t even bat an eye. Instead she was like “Oh, well that’s different.”
Bahhh haha.
Hulda, you are one cool bean.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Heather says
What a lovely neighbor and the suitcase full of glass made me laugh out loud!
Karen says
Well, if the glass made it through that, it was meant to be kept. The hubby was just testing durability.
Mavis Butterfield says
Ya. That must be it. 😉
Vicki says

Randy says
He was testing the threshhold of glass. Good luck…
Kari A. says
I laughed when I saw the suitcase of glasses… Maybe the HH was trying to “downsize” your glass collection!
Mavis Butterfield says
Ha! 🙂 🙂 🙂
D Holloway says
What a nice neighbor!
Funny how your husband packed the glasses! 🙂
Hulda says
It was fun to spend the morning helping Mavis move boxes, she has blessed our family in many ways. We are sad to lose them as neighbors. But hey I know where she lives now 😉
