ON THE MOVE.....
Becky and I are two pretty good movers. Rocky would be proud of us. We got to Dale’s home by lunch time on Thursday and worked until time to visit with the lawyer later in the afternoon. He is a very nice man and is working with what little we have to go on. Still, it is a task that begs finishing.
We worked all day Friday from early until late and then headed home on Saturday morning. It was the last day we had for our small booth at the Antique Barn so we ate a bowl of soup and headed out there to finish up. We saw old friends that we stopped to visit with……we have a 10-year history with the place and know many of the vendors and local buyers. The “help” changes as people have schedule conflicts like Becky and I do at the time, but one can always sign up for part time work if you are so inclined. We have enjoyed being long time customers, then vendors and then worked part-time. It has been a great experience but time to cut back and get out of Dodge, as they say.
Becky and I plan to go back to Illinois Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. We are well beyond making a big blast out of July 4th because we are alone here except for Jonathan and his little family……..we enjoy the day differently now….like going to Illinois. Should be back by Friday but plans are subject to change.
Becky and I tore into the CD player space and changed location for it so I can enjoy my music more as I work around our little home. That necessitated moving all the books out of the bookcases and creating a different “look” in the living room. Today and tomorrow I will finish the obvious job of rehabilitation for some things that no longer have space.
Needless to say, Napoleon, Mandy, Sassy, Chevy, Lovey and Callie were thrilled to have us home once more. We got a lot of loving from those little critters and it’s nice to have someone waiting for us. They are all a big part of our life.
I’d better get busy now and hopefully, in our absence life has been good to you and the ones you love. Take care and have a great Monday.
Until tomorrow, I am,
Essentially Esther
