Out with the old.....

One of the interesting things about living on a compound is fitting into the maintenance routines. Daily garbage removal, weekly gardening, monthly fire extinguisher check, annual smoke alarm testing. And last week it was time for a "furniture exchange" -- which happens every 4 years.

A large truck and team of movers rumbled down the street, going from house to house, removing living room sofas, chairs and tables. Then, a few minutes later, another truck and team of movers brought in new sofas, chairs, and tables.
