Once again, reprinting another post from an August 28th in a previous year.
Usually Mondays are music days but in 2017, it was an unpacking day, and Dad helped.
Seven years later he dies on this day.
This day was the first full day of my new life in the PacNW. We had arrived the day before.
Dad moves into Friendship Village three years to the day (2020) after this day, and he dies on the same day four years after that (2024).
I will reprint the list of all August 28th posts once I have reprinted them all.
Ellory loved her grandpa, and he loved her, so she gets the top photo.
Original post that I am reprinting:
Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #783 - Unpacking in the new home
Hi Mom, Unpacking is happening.

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
Thanks for tuning in.
COUNTDOWN!!!

Hi Mom, Unpacking is happening.
After arriving yesterday, I had to do some work in the morning and teach the class I missed on Saturday.
After completing the minimum work, we began the task of unpacking.
The moving truck had arrived Wednesday 1708.23 and much of the load was crammed into my office, the den, first room off the entrance to the house -- see the first photo above the title to this entry at the top of the post. At least half the stuff crammed in my office was not "office" stuff, so it all had to be moved for unpacking and storing. Kitchen stuff went to kitchen. Holidays decorations went to the great room (temporarily). Wardrobe boxes were moved upstairs. My dresser was moved upstairs. All the books of my library were moved the garage awaiting the shelves being put up in the bonus loft room on the second floor, which is tomorrow's task (see tomorrow's post).
Piper, Adam (Piper's boyfriend), and their friend Keith were immensely helpful in re-organzing, moving, and unpacking.
Much work was accomplished. It was a long day, which ended with a meal at one of the local Mexican restaurants and a visit with Rob (Liesel's step Dad) and his wife Elizabeth.
More to come...

Reflect and connect.
Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you.
I miss you so very much, Mom.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.
