It's One Thing......

It's easier to move when being a fit younger person than to be an out of shape  o l d e r  person.  
Duh.  DOUBLE DUH.......

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure this one out.  I believe this move of ours is a REAL toughie.  It's taking me longer to move about.  The lifting of even smaller, light weight boxes gets to my 'ole back.  Every day we're making 

HUGE HEADWAY.

 

THANKFULLY we have time to  s t r e t c h  this move out.  The entire SUMMER will do.  I have to stay focused and determined to get this all done.  THANKSGIVING is on the horizon.  BUT first the FOURTH of JULY must come with independence, Labor Day with more work, Harvest TIME will be high lighted being we're settled.
  

HUBBY REMINDED ME THAT BOOKS ARE HEAVY AS PAPER IS AS WELL.
I COMPLETELY AGREE....paper is heaveeeee.
PACK BOXES THAT HOLD BOOKS WITH FEWER BOOKS.  THIS MAKES LIFTING AND CARRYING MORE MANAGEABLE.

Today, I gathered up boxes and more boxes...then grouped them into the COTTAGE Parlor.  Ready for us to carry them out of the house to the car so we can transport them across the county line.  Trying like heck to be better organized when it comes to this event.  Husband and I loaded up both of our cars and drove across the county line to HOME*SWEET*HOME.  I had to sit down and rest this back of mine.

When my Dear Husband finishes unloading his car, he'll rest and we'll watch PBS's GRANTCHESTER with snacking on TRAIL MIX.  

Tomorrow, we will clear a path through the house for the delivery workers to carry inside some of our wood furniture that has been refinished in Kansas City.  Our Bedroom is ready for what will be delivered.  The other Bedroom has to be cleared out for the Bedroom Suite.   I'm squealing....the excitement tis mounting. 

SOON we will have to order a new mattress and boxsprings so the Guest bed can be used for real people.

The Dining room is near ready for what they will be delivering.  THEN, Lord willing, I will begin to fill the curio cabinets with Blue Willow dishes and crystal.  By the week-end, I think our Dining room will look more like a Dining room instead of a warehouse full of boxes.  I will begin my hunt for some Dining room chairs that we will use.  

JULY will be here soon.  I will still be waiting for a few more pieces of furniture that will be refinished.  Two of the Bedrooms will hopefully be functional.  WAITING for Living room furniture.  The Grey Bedroom will morph into an OFFICE and Doll room.  Curtains up.  BOXED things will migrate into the room that they shall be in.  

AND the Kitchen should have pots 'n pans, our everyday dishes, drinking glasses, silverware, food, etc. should be in place.  THIS SUMMER will be one of getting settled.


We still have a storage unit and another garage to clear out this SUMMER.  Slowly we will tackle this.  

S L O W L Y.

This evening the birds are singing loud with clear distinct notes.  Beautiful melody for a cool evening.  I have slowed down to listen.  


It's one thing to be settled,
