We're Still Waiting......

I am actually going to do a post without any pictures imagine that? Not unless you want to see more snow and ice. :)
For those who have inquiring minds, yes, we have been working on the house getting it emptied for Hannah and Dan to move into in June. Hannah has been prodding us along since she is still on break from school. "Mom, let's do the laundry room today."  "Mom, how about cleaning out this cabinet today."  That is fine, as she has helped tremendously getting our lazy bodies in gear. In winter I just want to sit and read or crochet. That is horrible for me I know but who wants to go out and walk in 29* weather?  OK, well some do!  I am proud to say we are almost completely done going through the house, except the kitchen. That is going to have to wait until the end of March and we move entirely into the fiver. We still need to eat and cook!  To be honest it wasn't near as difficult as I thought it was going to be. I think because I am so very excited to get into the fifth wheel and start living our new lifestyle. I love the reaction of people when you tell them you are going to sell everything and move into an RV.  Some are like, "are you serious, won't you miss......." or "we know people who have been full timing for years and just love it."  That always makes you feel good. And to be honest the most popular comment is, "I/we envy you guys."  Believe me I realize to the fullest how lucky and blessed we are to get to do this. That we still have our health, and that Art was able to retire 2 yrs early.  One never knows what a day is going to hold do we?
I was just sitting here reading other blogs and thought hum, I haven't posted in a while. We are still here, still waiting, and still working towards our dream. Won't be long now.
Hope everyone is doing well, avoiding the horrible flu I hear is going around, and for those of you in the South soak up some sun rays for us, OK?  Best wishes from Indiana.

  1. No flu here, no nice sun or warm air either! Rain & in the well..60's, but seems chilly. Actually, today's high was 60 & tonight's low 63? Methinks something is wrong with weatherbug! But anyhow, no sun soaking. Great that you are getting all that work done now! I think it's probably got to be the hardest part.

    1. I'm glad to hear you are healthy. The 60's sound great here but I'm sure that is colder than you want to be there. I think you are right that is the hardest part, but we are almost there YA!

  2. You are so lucky to have your daughter move into the house. No big worries about selling it. I dread going back to our house because ?i know there is so much to do, but I am glad we have this time to get the feel for living in the Motor home.

    1. Yes, I know we are. It will be hard to go back after you have been out traveling and having fun. Maybe it will go well and you will sell it quickly.

    1. Good! We heard on the news that people were waiting 2-3 hours at Urgent Care Centers. UGH! Sick and waiting that long. I saw where you were going to get more ice, oh I hate ice. It breaks bones when you fall.
      Thanks!
