With Z looking for work that will take us closer to his mom, and the boys' activities (work, school, dance) keeping them in town from dawn to dusk, we've decided to sell the Forever Home and move into a rental.
Now to declutter enough that I can stage it and make a comprehensive list of Things To Be Done. Yikes!
Today, we worked in the basement and the foyer. I can't even pretend to have any idea how much headway we made, or what we need to do next. I just need to get some stuff out of the way so I can breathe. We did quite a lot, though, and this evening everyone is sleeping well.
Tonight we attended a going away party for friends. That's always a bittersweet occasion. We're happy for them to have new adventures and explorations, but there will be an empty place for those of us left behind. It was good to hug them one more time tonight, to see the kids all grown (growing?) up... And thank God for technology. We can video chat, keep up to date through social media, and email. So it's almost like we get to go along with them. That makes the distance easier.
Tonight, though, I'm beat, physically and mentally. It's time to kick off my boots and watch something stupid.
Be encouraged!

"To sell the Forever Home." Isn't that an oxymoron of sorts? :-) It hope it sells as quickly as you hope it will and for a great price.
I know! We thought this would be the place we stayed forever. Life is funny that way. But it's a good place, and I hope just the people who need to live here find it and love it. Thank you for your good wishes!
Good article! We will be linking to this particularly great article on our
site. Keep up the great writing.
I couldn't resist commenting. Exceptionally well written!
