Back home



 I’m back home and getting ready for the big move. Thanks to the college boys down the street. My attics are completely empty. Would anyone like a Christmas tree? I have five. How about a trophy? I have many trophies that little girls collect that I will be happy to share. Need a vacuum cleaner? I have three of those. And there are boxes and boxes and boxes of junk. The funniest thing I found in the attic are the light up deer that we used to put in the yard at Christmas. Unfortunately, the neighborhood hooligans always put our deer in compromising positions. The deer have lived in uncompromising positions in the attic for at least 10 years. It’s time for them to find their final resting place at Goodwill!

It’s so much harder than that. Here’s the timeline by months. January - decide to move and talk to a realtor about homes options in my town February - realize the homes in Indiana are just as expensive as the homes everywhere else and I can live somewhere fabulous with wonderful weather March - start a house hunt in Florida  April - put my house up for sale and actually find a buyer so quickly it made my head spin May - find a house in Florida in a golf community in a great location  June - drive both cars down to Florida in two trips while I wait for the closing on my new home in hopes that I can get all moved in by the time Leah’s baby is due at the end of June Reading that makes it sound so simple. It wasn’t simple, easy, carefree or a delight. It was backbreaking, mind blowing, nerve wrac
