Default Moving sale

We had six, count 'em six customers today for our moving sale! I am amazed we had any what with folks making preparations for the snow storm. It is just now starting to snow. I did mow the lawn this afternoon as I said I would. It may be the last time I ever mow the lawn we nurtured from bare gravel when we moved in eight and half years ago .

I was particularly generous with our customers today...so generous they called their relatives and they took armloads of goods destined for the landfill or Goodwill at pennies on the dollar. Over half the stuff is gone and we have some lunch money to show for it

I'm just glad some of it is gone...I'm so tired of dealing with "stuff".

We had some friends over tonight to help eat up some of the bounty remaining in the freezer...so good to have a small dinner party with old friends among all the boxes and bare walls. All were offered unlimited visits with us once we get settled. Hope they take us up on our offer.

Tomorrow we will go room to room and finish packing that room up so we can feel like we are accomplishing our task.

Closing paperwork for the TV home should arrive early next week via email and we will print them and get our signatures notarized and overnighted back to the closing company.

The moving van comes a week from Monday...Holy Cow, Batman...this is gettin' real!

Our soon-to-be next door neighbors sent us an email today asking about our progress. What nice folks they are. We are looking forward to getting to know them better. They are Brits and only can stay six months a year, unfortunately.

We can't wait to take our first golf cart ride to Peachwave for a frozen yogurt luncheon. Yum....
