Good bye To an Era

Last year, to settle Mom's estate,  my sister and I sold my her house, which was 2 blocks from the house my husband and I built when we got married.  We've lived in this house for over 49 years, raised 3 wonderful children, who got married and gave us 6 grandkids.  Sure there were ups and downs but this was HOME!!!! and we knew every brick, board, nail and screw that went into it.  My husband and I have both lived in this area since we were born.  Tomorrow we hand the keys over to new owners, thankfully they are a young family who have one little boy and want more children and a dog.

We've had our new house since the beginning of February so we've been moving stuff out there and staying overnight there many times.  The movers were here last week and took all the furniture out so we put our travel trailer in the front driveway and stayed in it while we cleaned the last bit of stuff out of the house and garage.

This is the end of one era and it is sad but in another way we're looking forward to the new adventures and friendships we'll make in the new home.

Home #3???

We've packed up so much of the stuff in our house that I not only have no pots or pans to cook in but nothing to eat it with either!!  We took our travel trailer out of the garage and parked it in the front driveway.  Two nights ago we slept in our old house, next night we slept in our new house and last we slept in the trailer....I'm getting to the point that I never know where I am when I wake up during the night!!!

With all that's going on, my brain is totally fried!!!  Yesterday I wanted to stock the trailer fridge so that we can "live" in it while finishing packing up the old house.  There was a 2 dozen egg carton in the house fridge.  It was too big to put in the trailer fridge so I took the egg out but....now I can't find it!!!  Who knows where it might be????

Hubby was cleaning out one of his drawers and he found $20, then he found some more money...that was good!  He gave me some papers to shred.  One envelope was too big to fit in the shredder so I ripped it in half....what's that????...looks like money...sure enough it was a 20 and two 5's.  Guess I'll have to tape them back together and take them to the bank....good job I didn't shred them...would have been a much harder job to tape them back together!!!

I've Been Locked Out

For some time now I haven't been able to post.  Today our Daughter, Son-in-law and grandkids were down as well as our son.  They were helping up pack and hauling some stuff out to the new house.  Granddaughter did some homework on my computer then managed to get my blog to unlock for me.

We took possession of our new house on Feb 1 and have been going back and forth.  It's been great moving stuff out there slowly because I've had time to organize things and make some adjustments.  Selling our old house was a real on-again, off-again affair...Well on April 1...April Fool's Day they finally removed the subjects and want possession and closing date on April 28...Yikes just 4 weeks to get everything cleaned out of here!!!!  Needless to say, we've been busy!!!
