Both Thursday and Friday the packers were at our house from early to late working, packing, and loading these two big trucks full of almost everything that I own - everything in our house.It only took two days. The weekend was spent cleaning and sorting the random things left over - cleaning supplies, odds and ends.
Today I walked through my house for the last time. Seeing it as I did the day I moved in, empty and echoing. Before excited about decorating and filling a new home. Now in tears remembering all the wonderful times we've had there. It's not just a house. It's a community. It's a neighborhood with wonderful German neighbors who have accepted us and welcomed us. It's Tinny who I can't look at without tearing up.
In 36 hours now I'm driving to Paris. List of errands tomorrow includes buying Kleenex. My throat hurts just thinking about it.

An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered. -- GK Chesterton
The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

A friend is someone who will help you move. A real friend is someone who will help you move a body. -- anon
The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory. -- Paul Fix
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone … The best thing to hold onto in life is each other. ~Audry Hepburn
I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it. -- Thomas Jefferson
