It was late and he had no time to find them good homes.

Not so bad when it was us, but when we had the kids and they started school, I said "Enough!" So we've been rooted for twenty years. Enjoy your new home, Brenda. :)Linda Engmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364352733424072078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787196793070180268.post-67850665282553816582012-02-03T08:40:38.069-07:002012-02-03T08:40:38.069-07:00I've moved so many times in my married life th...I've moved so many times in my married life that this is like reading MY own story, Brenda. One move in '88 left a handmade shelf hubby had made for my first actual Mother's Day in '85. I couldn't sell that shelf. He asked how much and I told him I couldn't put a price on love lol I gifted it to our friends instead. He's promised to duplicate that shelf for me this year. I don't know where I'll put it but if I can 'stuff' it into a tiny two bedroom mobile home, I'll fit it into a three bedroom, two-story house!Calisa Rhosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743891437445099016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787196793070180268.post-37951135586597985102012-02-03T08:24:20.393-07:002012-02-03T08:24:20.393-07:00Hi Alison.

This arrangement seemed like a good idea at the time. Thought I'd get more writing done. Ha. And as far as the grocery bagging - they have baggers here in AZ and they practically fight you to do it.

Glad it's all figured out now and he's on the road. I'm with Vonnie, I don't think I could let 'stuff' go that easily. And Jenny, so sorry to hear about your awful move. Brenda, it will all be worth it in the end. You're a better woman than I though - I would have to do all the cleaning, packing and loading of the truck because I'm that controlling. It's so bad, I'm the only one who can bag my groceries.

What I discovered got fixed but some stuff (like an antique clock) I didn't discover until months later and too late to make a claim. The cost was also very high and too much for this time around.Brenda Whitesidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162555468154752820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787196793070180268.post-3915182070730125092012-02-03T06:05:29.898-07:002012-02-03T06:05:29.898-07:00I did sulk, Vonnie, but only for about 15 minutes....I did sulk, Vonnie, but only for about 15 minutes.

They said they would deliver to the door anywhere. I told them we lived down a dirt track. No problem. They turned up in a huge articulated lorry which couldn't possibly negotiate the track The driver shrugged, said we'd have to hire a pick-up and abandoned all our furniture at the side of the road. Then it started to rain. Fortunately a kind neighbour rescued us. I sat in the rain with the furniture, feeling like a refugee, while he and my husband ferried the stuff bit by bit to the house. Months later when all the work was done and we finally unpacked everything, we found at least one boxful was missing anyway. So maybe it's better to bring the stuff yourself. At least you choose what you sacrifice!<br />You're doing OK, kid.Jenny Twisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15716569675973035423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787196793070180268.post-85441156491659319082012-02-02T22:30:59.257-07:002012-02-02T22:30:59.257-07:00With each post I read, I get more into your advent...With each post I read, I get more into your adventure. Please don't stop sharing. What brave souls you are. I keep asking myself, could I shrug and say, "Oh, well, it's only stuff." I don't think I'm as good a person as you. I think I'd sulk.
