The schedule of the arriving truck from Minnesota was 7:00 a.m.
DH showed up at 6:35 a.m. after driving most of the way through the heart of Phoenix to a High School in Mesa, AZ. When he arrived, the delivery truck from Minnesota was parked and DH saw two drivers he worked with for many, many years waiting for him. The smiles and hand shakes between everyone solidified the bond people have with one another coming from the Midwest.
The harp was delivered in perfect shape as anticipated and was handed off again with smiles and hand shakes.
DH drove away with tears in his eyes because of the generosity of a corporation with whom he spent many years building friendships and relationships. DH had so much respect for this corporation when he worked for them, but has now realized that they do so much more for the community in which he and DW left last year.
We can't thank them enough for everything they have done to allow us to chase our dreams. For that alone we are grateful!!!
DH's family who packed up the harp and made sure it was worthy of the trip decided it would be fitting to send a long a little "present" in the harp coffin.
DH & DW, who fancy themselves to be quite sneaky when it comes to pulling "Funnies" on people, have actually had a "Funny" pulled on them.
When DH & DW first saw this picture a couple of years ago, we thought it would be Hilarious to give it as a gag gift for to a member of DH's family for Christmas. We thought we'd NEVER see it again!
Well, as you can see "The jokes on us"!
DH's family managed to fit this large, obnoxious picture into the harp case before closing the case.
We laughed our butts off at knowing we have to devise a plan at getting it back to Oh-town...... Hmmmmmm....... Anyone have any suggestions??
Here's a photo of the harp settled nicely in AZ.
Oh, before we end this blog, we think everyone should see the "DEVIOUS" photo of DH's family with the monkey picture just before they put it in the "Coffin".
Thanks go out to you all who helped make this possible!!!!!!!

I am thrilled to see that the harp has safely made its way to your home in AZ! It was touching to read the testimonial to Wengers. You are correct - they have been a huge benefit to our city. I can imagine that it was quite a heart-warming site to see the semi parked and good friends ready to welcome T with the delivery of the harp. The music emitted from that harp in your home must have sounded heavenly!
I love the picture! (not enough to want it, mind you!). We have had gag gifts floating around my family as well and it's always quite a hoot to open that gift! Are you planning on hanging it in your new home? hehe!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA IM STILL LAUGHING AT ONES IDEA TO GET THAT TO AZ HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA NOW IF THEY COULD OF FIT A IMPERIAL IN THERE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING> HAVE FUN DECORATING!!
I think that monkey looks a little lonesome and maybe needs a companion. DM
