You would think the logistics of moving would be so easy. A, B, C, pack these, these things will go, these we must throw, load up the car and away we go! But the reality is mind boggling and finger numbing and it would be easier to stay put and not go. But there is a road out there that clearly has our names on it. Or was that a cloud of starlight glowing brightly beckoning us? The destination is clear, but how do we get there? Oh well, we just count our lucky stars we know where we're going and why. |

YEP. I am in the same quandary--but it's exciting, isn't it? And I can't help but wonder where all of the shtuff came from! (Just had a flashback of me in a thrift store, carrying a carved wooden box with a broken hinge, saying..."but I NEED this!") sigh...I'm going to start in one corner! and if you've got kids, pack the kitchen last. Okay, I'll shaddup now. (you got me thinking, you did!)  |

 BRAVO!!! I love it, sweet friend, we can never tell the future or where the road will lead us, but just looking to te stars and following our dreams will help us get far and find harmony on the horizons ahead! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, you always make me smile! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

LOL, Serenity, I know what you mean about the kitchen going last, especially with a teenager. And I understand that thrift store line all to well. I'm a 'keeper' and my daughter is a 'thrower' except for her Breyer horses and horse books and music CD's, she is inclined to throw everything else out without a second thought. OK folks, the moving is in the earliest stages, since I haven't figured out much of anything except that we will move later this summer from Alaska to Colorado. That's about all I can say for now, but hope to have more details in a few weeks. Probably more poems about lifestyle changes, as well. I don't look forward to the details, just the destination.

First rule of moving: Garage Sale. Then...kitchen sale, bedroom sale, den sale, etc. etc.,.... Liked this! |

LOL at your moving tips, Sunshine. The last move was from California to Alaska: yard sale, car sale, get to the airport with three or four bags and be gone. Yep, that's exactly how we did it, only three weeks after deciding to move. |
