That is great news! Congratulations Farseer. I am sure packing will not be all that bad, besides it is a good time to thin out unwanted stuff we tend to store unused.

Introduction FarSeer

Thanks, Krakyn! Yes, a lot more thinning out than packing, I think. A lot of my old, junky furniture is going too, since we won't need so much. Maybe we won't need such a big truck

Well, we had our last yard sale yesterday, and all in all the two sales were a success. Not so much money made, but got rid of a lot of "stuff" - that was the real goal, anyway. I finally got rid of these two ugly, ugly bar stools from the 1970s that have been taking up space in my garage since 2005. Hurray!

This is our final week. We will pick up the truck and get it loaded on Wednesday and stay in a hotel that night. Thursday morning we will begin the long drive - my son will drive the truck, I'll drive my car, and my mother will drive her car. Both my car and my mother's will get pretty good gas mileage, but that truck probably will not. We will stay in a motel on Thursday night, then pick up the keys to the house on Friday morning, unload the truck and sleep in our new place that night. Saturday will be more unpacking, etc, then take the truck to turn in. Sunday we will meet our new church friends and take my son to the airport for his flight home. School starts for my daughter on Monday, and I should be able to be "live" at work via the miracle of the Internet, VPN, VoIP, I'm, and etc. Very cool.

A little scary, very exciting, and plenty more work left to do. I'm kind of shocked at how much trash is in my garage, stored carefully in boxes for years, that I can now just get rid of. Where did it all come from? ? ?

Nice that the whole family is involved. I wish you the best in your move and that you can find the better of everything in your new surroundings.

Introduction FarSeer

Thanks, JB The worst part is all the last minute details of making sure all is packed, or cleaned, or given away. It's not like a local move where you can come back once or twice to tie up loose ends. (You know what that's like from your Argentina move a few years ago.) I had planned to work today and tomorrow and 1/2 day Wednesday, but I think now I have to take all of Wednesday off and maybe 1/2 Tuesday.

Last night, Julie and I checked out her new high school's web site. They have a very fierce band program, competing in parades and traveling to various places for performances, football games, etc. It all sounds very exciting, but a lot of hard work and very high expectations from the band director. The school also concentrates on vocational training for agricultural careers and automotive, etc. So it looks to me like their main focus is FFA, football, vocational training, and marching band. A lot of high achievers. We also discovered that the school has only 1,800 students, compared with 2,500 in the school here. Still a lot of kids, but maybe not such crowded conditions.

Hi FarSeer! Thanks so much for your movie review. I merged it with the existing thread about that same movie The Help.
