Haven't been blogging much as of late as we have been packing and living out of boxes. Yup, we are getting ready to make the move to the country. We were supposed to be moved on the 19th but the landlord pushed the date up to the third-so here we sit, surrounded by cardboard, slightly anxious, and ready to go. According to some survey I read, moving is up there with divorce and death as far as stress. I believe there is some truth to that. Thanks to the man who walks for giving me some much needed encouragement to get out there and just do it. I can't wait to wake up and see trees and here birds singing, instead of worrying about getting bit by rats at night when I take out the garbage. Ironically all of our neighbors have just put the for sale signs out front of their houses too. The worst part is that the prices they are asking for, are the same prices that the homes went for about 10 years ago. My immediate neighbors are moving to North Carolina. They have a little kennel going, they breed German Shepherds, very nice family...a young couple with three kids...time for them to fly as well. My neighbor on the other side is moving to West Virginia. It is rather sad to see our neighbors fleeing...It is the end of an era...the majority of the families who live here are now 55years+ in age and on SSI and or pensions. What is going to happen to this community when all of us leave? My intuition tells me that the times they are a changin'....and we are a movin....

That's wonderful Lori. I think moving might be beneficial because everything that you never could find, becomes found. Including your peace of mind.
The forest of for sale signs sounds like Detroit way back when...the only appropriate response to it is...shit happens.
Let me know what's what when you come to ground.
love you kid,

"shit happens" is such a good phrase...my other favorite was the one my dad used constantly.."it is what it is"..he was right too....
Much Love to you as well
Lori
