Now it's five months!!!!!!!!

Hi all - just a quick, quick message. Well sort of quick. The move to Texas is so slow. We've been packing, organizing, etc. The house looks like a bomb hit it!
We're spending a lot on the landscaping. It's finally getting there. Not quite there, but our neighbors seem to like it. Had to grade the back yard and have dirt brought in, so Bob could plant grass. Have to get pine straw for the back and more mulch for the front. Already put down about 40 or 45 bags of mulch.
Today, boxes are being moved to one of the basement storage rooms and furniture being moved to different rooms. The electrician was here on Saturday and he hung a small chandelier in the dining room, which had been a "reading" room. Had to replace about five light fixtures. The painters are coming tomorrow and will start with pressure washing the outside. The entire interior needs repainting from ceiling to trim. Also all the tile needs regrouting and plumbing fixtures need replacing. There's still more, but this is a start. Hope to have the house staged and ready to list in a couple of weeks.
No sewing to show you. Haven't had a chance to sew in two months. I am miserable.
We had five garage sales. The last two were a bust - our city of Johns Creek, GA removed all the signs, so no one could find us. Got a warning letter from the city and were told that next time it would be a citation and a court appearance. Ridiculous.
Several charities have made out with all our donations. I donated at least half of my huge stash to my good friend Wendy Jones. Wendy will be making dump bags and "diddy" bags for our military. She also makes pillow cases for children at a local children's hospital.
Friends and family are getting furniture and other things. Our four great nieces in Baltimore are getting items from their great grandmother Syd Roseman and from their grandmother Allyn Karshmer. There are pictures including Allyn's wedding picture. Doing the same for my nephew David and his wife Meri. Passing on items from my mother and her father. I have cousins that I am sending pictures. Hopefully, our life will be simplified with less things! No basement for storage. There are items that I can't part with, neither can Debby. Only a few things that Bob wants to hold on to - he's not very sentimental. We are keeping all his Air Force things, including all his medals.
No pictures this time, just words. This will be my 28th move in nearly 51 years - not that many cities, but that many apartments, trailers, Quonset huts, duplexes, house! Hopefully Katy will be the last move. I'm sure though, we'll have to rent for awhile before we find a permanent house.
Wish us luck everyone!
Until next time.
