Everything in the cargo trailer is the essentials we need for long term survival without the other stuff, and everything in the trailor is supposed to be for the short term camping kind of stuff.
For example, in the camper we really only need 2 coffee cups, but we took 6 with us so that when we have a house or a cabin we can actually serve a coffee to people we meet or maybe our real estate agent etc. So everything was in excess of what 2 people need to survive camping, because we are thinking longer term. So the roaster, cheese grater, pizza pan, 30 towels are all way too much but we still need them after a week. Same with some of the foods we took. I had 5 pkgs of hamburger that I wasnt going to throw out and I didnt want to leave for the new owners. So 3 got stuffed into our tiny camper freezer and 2 went into the fridge to thaw and use later. (There will be more to the hamburger story later)
So because of all the excess stuff it was yet another struggle to fill these 2 trailers. We had everything in the front yard while I played another round of jenja to fill these. We had emptied out all the bedrooms and cleaned and closed the doors. The kitchen was a nightmare and we ended up leaving most of the can goods for the owners. Along with unopened products in the fridge.
While this was going on I still had laundry to do and the machine was making lots of noise. Luckily it still works but we did leave the owners a few $in case it died on them early in.
4 empty bedrooms. Left the pink hippo stuffy for their little girl.
We left behind alot of stuff, hopefully they can use. a few antiques, tables, plastic containers, food, even the laundry detergent. 2 vintage medicine cabinets. I left behind a green glass swan that belonged to my grandmother, an orchid given to me by my brother, a glass vase I always used and many items that we didnt have room for or that we thought wouldnt make the trip. Again, all I can hope for is that they can make use of it all.
Tom left the orchid! He was going to bond with it
