I have been dreading this for several weeks but it turned out not to
be such a pain after all. Put all the food into 4 large coolers. Then
DH got the dolly and rolled the freezer (upright) out of the garage
and hosed it down. The frost was all off in about 30 minutes. Then
came the problem of reloading. DH puts stuff down there and does not
remember that it is there. But if you say something about it, "he's
going to eat it." Sure.

I had some plastic boxes and originally tried to put like things in
the same box. Lasted until DH took some things down to put in the
freezer. Ended up getting some additional boxes and right now I have
things pretty well sorted.

Right now the strawberries are beginning to turn pink. Wonder what I
can take out to make room for the berries. Lots of strawberry jam is
one the schedule.
