Is Life Ever Going to Slow Down?

We have been on a rollercoaster lately - in both activity and emotion. Our house (not the one we are now living in) has been "under contract" for over a month now. This has meant that we have had to empty it of everything that is not part of the sale. You need to know that this is an 11 room house, we are now living in a 6 room house that we have been living in part-time for 8 years, and very little of what was in the sold house is going to the current house. Does any of this make sense? To us it means that we now have 2 storage units (10' x 20' each) stacked with furniture and boxes that we need to find homes for. We have been pitching and packing for most of the last month. We managed to have all of it done by the FIRST closing date. That date came and went with the paper work not finished. The same for the SECOND closing date. Ditto the THIRD closing date. Two days from now is the FOURTH and hopefully actual closing date.



Since we finish OUR part of what had to be done for the sale to go through by the FIRST closing date, we have had some time to play. Today we put the dock out and launched our Pontoon boat. It was great to cruise around the lake looking at all of the changes since we left for Arizona last September. There is still a little pile of snow behind the barn next door and I was in the water up almost to my crotch to push the boat off the trailer. It really was quite nice - the temp was close to 70 and the sun was shining brightly.



Within the next week we will leave for South Carolina to tend our motor home and cover it for the summer. Then we will drive to Florida to check out the park where we have reservations for next winter.



Projects: The first Alligator Scarf is done and the second in process.
