Emily's Meanderings

Moving out of Chapel Hill

We said goodbye to Meadowmont Apartments on Saturday. Barry's brother Randy and wife Lillie came up from Columbia to take home a bunch of furniture and household goods for their daughter Kirsten, who is starting college at USC this fall. The rest we loaded into this Penske truck and got on the road to spend a week with my Mom and step-dad Dal before heading to Belize.

Our apartment was the third floor unit visible here

Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of Rand and Lillie as everyone was working hard and sweating bunches. We did, however, get some nice photos with our dear new friend Eileen. Our moving day just happened to be her birthday, and we said our goodbyes while she entertained her family in her apartment. We will miss her tremendously as she added such joy to our lives while we lived in Chapel Hill.

Happy Birthday Eileen!

We took our mattress set to my mother, who got into the spirit of things as she checked it out:

Going Away Cake

My co-workers surprised me with this cake on my last day at Genband. I was very touched!

The photos are from the 1985/86 Northern Telecom yearbook. Unfortunately, Barry was running around dealing with paperwork from selling our car so was not able to attend, but I took the picture portion of the cake home to him. Once again, thanks to Bill for being instrumental in procuring the cake!

Going Away Party

A great group of Barry's and my current and past co-workers gathered last week at Mez to say goodbye. It was wonderful to get to share our plans with so many of our Nortel friends. We really appreciated Bill arranging this nice party! It worked out well for us because Mez is right on the bus line, so we were able to take the bus back to Chapel Hill afterwards.
