Last Minute Packing
This weekend has been spent doing last minute packing for our move to Marble Falls. The mover come on Monday and there is still a bunch left to do. However, I think we have a lot done and even if it all isn't ready by Monday, the movers will be able to take a whole lot of stuff, especially the big stuff.
We've got half the garage full of boxes to be moved. And the other half of the garage is filled with stuff we are giving away.
Several friends have come by to look at the stuff and take off what they want. Elizabeth wants the large buffet we got at auction a few years ago. She is trying to figure out how to get it move though.
Amy's boss is taking quite a few pieces of the furniture that we are giving away. She is moving in January into an apartment and doesn't have much to start with. I'm glad to know someone will get good use out of it.
The rest of the stuff will be packed up and I'll have Salvation Army come out to get it.
It is nice to be letting go of so much stuff. But I'm glad we don't have to get rid of everything yet. And since we have the house in Marble Falls, we probably won't have to for awhile if ever. Even when we hit the road. I like the idea of having the house there as a home base we can come back to once or twice a year, especially in the winter when it is cold up north!!
So the first step in our ultimate move to full-time RV'ing is almost complete.
I am sad though. The townhouse we have been living in the last two years was my father's townhouse. It reminds me of him and letting it go feels somewhat like letting him go.
