My house is sold!

       After only seven days on the market, I had an offer.  And what followed has been a flurry of activity.  Perfect timing - my neighborhood had a big "garage sale" planned for last weekend.  So with the help of a friend, we readied everything (almost) in the house for sale.  That meant emptying dressers, desks, chests, etc. in case someone wanted to buy one of them.  What a job!  I'm indebted to Debbie Myers for her willingness to come and help.

       And how did the garage sale go?  It was scheduled to be from 8am to 2 pm, but I had people here from 7am and still more as late as 4:30.  Thankfully I had  friends, some of whom I asked, and some who just showed up to help.  I don't know how I would have managed without them! (Many thanks to Kim, Sheran, Melinda, Elaine, Doug, Brian, Tracy, Debbie, Denise, and Keith!!!  I am indebted to you forever!)

       I sold everything except one computer desk, and one chifferobe!  I hadn't planned to sell my bed since it was new, and I will keep my upright freezer, but all my other furniture has now gone to new homes.  My church is having their annual Flea Market in a couple of weeks, so many of the smaller things I still have will go there.

       At the moment I am sorting things into piles: storage; get rid of; take with me; and things to have shipped to me later.  Quite a job!  But I'm no longer under the pressure of the garage sale looming.  I can take the next three weeks and get things organized.  I will close on the sale on June 15th.  And shortly thereafter, I will hit the road, and begin my journey west.

      Stay tuned!  Who knows what will happen next . . . . .
