Oh Yeah! 24 hours from now I have to be ready to evacuate this house.
This is the home I brought my almost 17 year old son home to. He has lived here longer than I ever lived ANYWHERE (until he was born).
Do you think I’ll make the deadline?
The Maze
Of course I will. That’s what mommies do!
Admittedly this was not my choice. I could have lived out my days in this house. I raised my family here. They had same age friends in all three houses across the street. My left and right neighbors both lost their wives (Nick is 96, Robt is 85) and I’ve been privileged to spend time getting to know them as people, not just “old folks”.
A Home for Barkley
I carried this boy home from the delivery room nearly 17 years ago.
I stripped the girlie wallpaper off his bedroom walls 2 weeks before he was born.
My husband painted it white and I drew Lion King creatures on the walls.
So, I gotta get moving…by the way, I’m wearing the “Boot” on my almost not broken anymore foot…just for the move.
Next time you hear from me I’ll be in the new pad.

Happy Sunday my friend. Hope you’re not stuck looking for little treasures with you beloved. My niece was up from the Great State of Texas and brought along the heat to blend with our humidity…Yucky
I hate moving!
We’ve moved so many times, career forced, that I swear I’ll set it on fire before I move this crap again!
UP
just kidding about the fire stuff…
I’ll second that!
Told the kid to leave the garage open hoping someone would steal the junk still in boxes!
