When one moves…..

 Photo of the day:

 

Our first motor home (LOL) the VW Bus with a pop-UP!

Pre read note: Oh yes, many folks were at the GITMO dump (junk yard) looking daily.  As a matter f fact it was referred to as 'Going out to Sears'  And YES MA, we too bought parts in the USA at Junk yards.  

Now for today:

WE have moved a lot in our nearly 69 years of marriage. Married in York, SC. #1 son was born in Biloxi, Mississippi. #2 son was born in Kirksville, MO. I can remember when we moved to Washington DC we put all our belongings in the back seat and trunk of our car. Moving was easy then. LOL

Now I have collected so much STUFF it takes a while to make a move, PLUS you learn things.  You learn you can actually give things away and believe it or not, I have actually thrown some of my useless collectings away.

So maybe moving is a good thing. LOL It is even hard for me to realize that I have ALMOST emptied the basement playhouse. WE are getting a head start. WE decided that we will move into the RV in our back yard next Friday.  That way we can take our time packing up here in the house without dodging boxes every evening.

The continuing story, the life of old people.

We moved quite a bit too and learned the first thing to do when you get to the new house is to set up the bed. Then when you are exhausted you can just plop down in bed!!! :)

We have moved twice in the last 4 years. The first time we went from 3500 sq. feet which included a full basement. To 1430 sq. feet. We had to get rid of so much I thought I'd die.
And let me tell you my kids were interested in nothing.
Then we moved to 1800 sq. feet but it is small for 3 adults.
Good luck - moving hurts, but once you do it I have to say it feels good traveling lighter.
