Friday, October 2, 2020 - We're Off to Ponca City, OK; Moving Haleigh to Oswego; Two Tired But Happy Grandparents

We left Oswego shortly after 8am, heading southwest to Ponca, City, OK.  Today we will be moving Haleigh back to Oswego.  When Misti moved several weeks ago, college classes at Labette Community College in Parsons had not yet started, so Haleigh moved with her mom.  In the meantime a house became available in Oswego and Haleigh recently rented it.  Fortunately she doesn't have that much to move back.  Dean took the hitch out of the truck and with the trailer we borrowed from Todd, the room in her car and the back seat of the truck I think we'll get it all back to Oswego just fine.

It was a beautiful morning for a drive.  We arrived at Misti's house near 11:00am.  Haleigh was already loading boxes into her car and only had a few left.  Dean took her bed apart, and by noon we had almost everything loaded and ready to go.  She ordered a pizza through Door Dash, and Misti joined us for lunch.  We finished up a few last minute things before we left Ponca City shortly after 1pm with Haleigh following us in her car.

We arrived at her house around 3 or so and had most everything inside by 4:30.  She had to stop to pick up the key from her landlord.  Dean put her bed together and we had all the major things set up when we left for home.  She just has to open all of her boxes and put those things away.

This is a big step for her.  We are really proud of her for all she is doing to get her own start in life.  She is going back to work at the G&W grocery store here in Oswego.  Her classes are all online, which gives her the opportunity to work whenever they need her.  She enjoyed her job there, the people she worked with, and the customers.  It works perfectly for her while she's going to school.

My sister Cindy called me earlier to see if we wanted to come over around 6 to play Wahoo and Pitch.  We went home and cleaned up, then headed to Mi Pueblo, our local Mexican restaurant for dinner.  My brother-in-law Mark came in to pick up an order giving us a chance to visit with him for a little bit.  My sister Jody was waiting in the car with their youngest grandson Hoyt.  

We had another fun evening with Cindy and Elmer.  The guys skunked the girls in both games tonight.  As always there was lots of laughter.  Tomorrow we have another busy day ahead of us.
