Lucie--Friday, June 24

Lucie was such a great sport being there with me during my last week too.  We had lots of fun, I had to take care of moving business as well.  On Friday morning we went out to breakfast in Skokie with Kath Van de Graaff, the 1st counselor in our branch presidency's wife.  We got to see some of the damage from the tornados that came through on Tuesday night.  I had a last minute change of plans when I found out that my friend Jay, who was letting me borrow his large vehicle to move my bed found out that his sister needed to borrow his truck for the next three weeks as she drove to Maine, so this was my only day to move the bed.  I made lots of phone calls between Jay and the girls where I was moving my bed, and another girls who needed her bed moved too, and we finally figured it out.  Lucie and I had enough time to go to Chinatown and to do a little architecture tour in the loop and get Chicago dogs before my moving fiasco that afternoon evening.  What was supposed to take two hours turned into a 6+ hour ordeal.  But, I got my bed moved, and I was happy about that. (I did sleep on the couch for the next week though.)
