Thirty years ago we moved five miles, and obviously we were much younger. We paid a moving company $333 (odd I still remember!), and that was the best money we ever spent - probably. Our children were young and of no "muscle" help. We packed everything and labeled the boxes for which room it was to go. The moving men quickly put boxes where indicated. My husband and I spent the next couple of weeks at night after work (sometimes until 1:00 A.M.) getting everything unpacked and in place. I have always been the type of person who wanted things done yesterday! After three surgeries in nine months, I no longer fit that description. I could easily sit and look at the boxes now!!!
