Daniel: Thank you for inviting me this weekend. I had a wonderful time.

Barbara:  We enjoyed having you, Daniel. That will probably be our last opportunity to see the Dodgers play this year. Season is almost over.

Daniel:  Well, maybe next year.

Barbara:  Maybe so. Well, we need to get out of your way. Nice house from what I can see. It’s a lot larger than what it appears from the street.

Tina:  Next time you come, we will give you a full house tour. Maybe we will have all those boxes unloaded and a few hundred other things done. Thanks for taking care of Daniel.

John David:  Thank you for letting Daniel come. Daniel, I’ll see you tomorrow morning.

Daniel:  Yep, tomorrow is a school day. I have music lessons in the afternoon. What about you?

John David: I’m supposed to play soccer. But I would rather play golf.

Barbara:  Maybe you would be interested in some music lessons, John David. Let’s talk about that with your dad. Well, good to see you both. Bye.

They were off. Daniel headed up the stairs with his backpack and his suit case. When he got to the top of the stairs, you could hear his verbal expression as he saw the New York furniture and the piano in the library. Bette and Tina followed him up and then to his room.

Bette:  Daniel, unpack your suitcase and get your dirty clothes to the laundry room. We will teach you how to operate the machines. Then your job is to empty all the boxes in your room and put them the stuff away. Now, I want to remind you that you will be getting new bedroom furniture so the more you can put in the closet, the easier the transition to your new furniture will be. Once you empty a box, take it out on the deck and throw it to the patio. Just before lunch we will go and disassemble the boxes and put them in the recycle dumpster.

Daniel: There is a lot of them.

Bette: Look at what me and your mom are going to deal with and there is almost this many in Angie’s room for us to deal with. Sorry Dan, do what you can. You know how you want your room arranged. Work on it and we will stop and have a lunch break and then we will work on it again until dinner. But just think, once you get all this stuff put away, the move is over for you. You will have all your things in one place. No more some stuff in New York and some stuff here with you. It will all be here.
