05/06/20 - On 4/23, I made my first call to a broker to see the process of shipping my car back to Delaware.  I just did not feel like driving all that distance by myself and also decided by the time I had hotel expenses, gas expenses, wear and tear on the car, I would prefer to ship her back.  I don't know this car very well and I have not had her checked out by a mechanic so was uneasy to drive across country. The broker took my information and we decided I would be ready to ship on 5/6,7 or 8.  He informed me that he would keep in touch.

5/4 - I got an email and the car would be picked up on 5/6. 

5/5 - Robyn came over in the evening and we packed the car with things that I wanted to go to Delaware.  We were unable to get two boxes in, a  beach chair, some blankets and a pillow.  Will ship those things later. The trucking company then gave me the name and number of the truck driver and I did not hear anything so called late and was told that they would call me in the morning regarding the time of their arrival to Surprise, Arizona.  Needless to say, I did not sleep well.

Today, I got up around 5:00 am since I knew they would be here very early.  I got dressed and at 6:21 am, I got a text and they were in the area.  I left Aunt Ada's house immediately and went to Surprise, Arizona where they were picking up the car.  I did not realize that they do "door to door" so I waited at the Target parking lot for further instructions when he texted back and wanted to see the car because they were parked on the street in front of the house!!  Well, we finally got it loaded and then Robyn drove me back to Aunt Ada's house.  Since all my crocheting and adult coloring books are all on the way to Delaware, I got a puzzle to work on to keep me busy for the next 3 days. Pictures attached:
