Things are still up in the air here about when Jim's plant is finally going to stop production so they can close the plant and he will be "laid off/retired". That date has been and still is a moving target since last December!

However, I have been able to work with my company to do "my" transition to a FL plant! Even though Jim is still working in MA, I am going to be able to have my company do my transition to FL by 7/1. This is BIG to me because I currently mostly work in NH but need to be "tied" to a MA plant for a security clearance. And because of that, have to pay Non-Resident income tax to MA. Once I "move" that will all go away.

One other nice financial benefit is that once I am actually living in our villa is I can contact our insurance agent and change our policy from an unoccupied status. This alone will reduce the cost by 2/3!

So now I have less than 2 weeks to pack up all the stuff that we didn't move in December! The greatest thing is that when I pick something up, I ask myself "Do I really love this? Is there a place I can envision placing this in our FL home?" Or is this something we want in our motorhome for when we visit up north? If it doesn't have a positive answer for these questions, it goes into the Goodwill box (unless our son wants it) I am so glad I sent all my crystal glassware down in the "first leg" of the move.

I am so looking forward to having Liver and Onions after Jim heads north (he tolerates liver but is not a huge fan) on 6/28. Who else, besides Dee, is a Liver and Onions/Bacon (and of course brown gravy) fan out there? Or can someone recommend a place that habitually servers this great?

Going on the road on for our 36th anniv (6/22) to destination SummerChase Cottages, The Villages!
