Tomorrow starts a new beginning

 

Whew, so tomorrow I will sign away my house, it will be bittersweet for sure, Anders and I talked so often about how perfect it is here, the beautiful sunsets and sunrises, the gardens, the cozy house that keeps cool in the summer and warm in the winter, I loved building the barn shown in the picture , making the overhangs, wood rack etc but indeed I have run out of projects and I do love projects, the lawn is way too big for me to want to spend all my exercise time on mowing. So I'm so happy the people who will be living here soon are just as excited about it as we were. Anders would be/is so happy about that too. 

We got a big storm a couple days ago so many people lost power, so much damage from crazy winds, thankfully held strong here in Eden at 1100' did get 6.5" of heavy snow though with rain after ...yuck.  One thing, I'm happy to be leaving the snow belt.

Yes indeed everything I own is packed, in order to find something to eat I have to dig through a box ! ha!  So tomorrow I go to the closing on the Eden house, then come home for a bit and load up the car with stuff from the garage, then I go to the closing on the land, I'll run a few errands in morrisville than head to the land with my first load, set up the space for the chickens and hang up some LED lights around the "Cabin" . Saturday will be spent bringing the rest of the stuff from the garage If I still have daylight I'll load up more from the house. Amazing what fits in my "fit" !

Sunday my daughter and son in law will meet me at the UHAUL and we will load up the truck and bring it to Johnson where I will reside! Unload a couple things that I need help carrying like the couch , Monday a couple great friends are coming to help unload the rest of the truck * insert huge heart for family and friends!

Will unload everything into the garage and I'll bring what fits into the cabin knowing everything else is right down the hall in the garage..:)  I'm not even worried about the campers arrival as I have a warm place to live until it arrives. 

My Kitties are enjoying all the stuff which is stuffed into corners, lots of cozy blankets to lay on or hide under! They will get loaded up with the dogs after we get here with the UHAUL so that we don't loose anyone outside in the loading process. I'm sure we will all take a bit to adjust to our new surroundings, the dogs and I can take walks although whiskeys age is taking a toll so will take short walks with the dogs and long. walks with just me LOL 

I am bringing a couple cans of paint to cover the ...walls to cheer the place up and I believe I have in my mind a spot I can put my plants, rugs on the floors etc I'll do my best to fix up the cabin without spending any more money on it since its not my permanent home.  I'll show you before and afters once I have the afters done ! 

I'm feeling pretty excited now that I have the closing statement from the lawyer and the closing time and date all set.  Now I want the weather to cooperate on moving day! Then will let the guy whose trucking the camper  decide when he is ready to move it and coordinate with my son in law to help level it. Then it will be the experiment using all the tips I have learned from my full time camper living group to keep it warm enough for me. Now keep in mind I like things on the cooler side so I have in my mind day time in the cabin and nighttime in the camper but who knows I am looking forward to it all.  I need to find a spot for the desk Anders Dad made to put my sewing machine on so I can keep up with my business , again I think I have an idea but will see when I get there! 

So off I go to check off my list of things to do today ! clean the fridge! 

Thanks for reading, thanks for caring, thanks for your thoughts and prayers!
