A new chapter of living

    We are planning to move in February 2019.  We have two companies interested in buying our home in a short sale for a reasonable price without any effort on our part as compared to listing our home the conventional way.  We are stuffed to the roof and would have to place allot in storage to show the benefits of our house off.  We have been living here five years and twelve days and accumulated more than we have given away or sold in yard sales.  To my husbands’ joy, I am decluttering my office. We have a lot of boxes now designated for the community thrift store.   For example: in my home office, I have 15 rolls of transparent tape and 6 bags of ink pens. Really, who needs that much?  I use the computer and printer daily. And there is limited space for hanging things on, so too much tape.  But it’s new stuff, and I don’t want to throw it away- hence, community thrift store donation.

     Making decisions is tedious, do I keep my knick-knacks or downsize by donating them? I don’t even have a new house picked out. We are wanting to leave the city and move to the countryside again. I miss raising Llamma’s. This time I am going to try Alpaca for the show, rather than the full sized Llama. I could never replace RJ in my heart, and it would be too painful to replace him with another full-sized llama. Robert wants to raise other less exotic animals like a horse for equine therapy and chickens for the eggs. We still have our two lovable and ornery dogs, Summer a Bagle puppy (Beagle and Bassetthound) and Macie a Labrador, who is 14 years old. We also have a parakeet and lots of fish in a 40-gallon aquarium.

     We have had aquariums for at least 35 years. One time we had twenty aquariums working and wound up selling them to the fishery store when we moved 50 miles away in the Arizona heat. At least us moving in February in Texas, the hot heated days won’t be a factor- watch it snow just for kicks on moving day… I made the last sentence with hilarity in mind because Texas , USA is known for wild temperature shifts you can have snow one day and 80 degrees Fahrenheit the next, the only thing we can agree upon is the summers are Hot, HOt, HOT!
