Another Move

Another move. 

Just when you thought we'd finally settled in we're moving again. No, it's not from our newly purchased home, but rather from the farm. So once again we are packing up, and making endless trips to Goodwill. 

The farm had basically become the dumping grounds for anything that we had upgraded at our last home. George Foreman grills, light weight silverware, an abundance of books, and knick-knacks galore all had accumulated at the farm, and was needing a day of reckoning.

Chuck and I have spent the last two Saturdays at the farm getting it ready to be on the market. Our son-in-law took the tractor to their property along with some fencing supplies. Chuck has mowed, edged, and hauled several loads of "stuff" back to the city. Some of it we will keep, but quite a bit was sold in the garage sale a few weeks back. 

I've decluttered and cleaned the inside, deciding what to keep, and what to send packing. It's definitely a job, and just like everything else we keep chipping away at it until it's done. Chuck did mention that we've basically done nothing but move for the last two years. Between our two moves, Chuck's work relocation, Brittany and Will's two moves, and now the farm we are pretty much over this whole moving thing. 

Our farm is a beautiful place, but after ten years, and Chuck's ever increasing stressful job it really has become too much. The fact that its location is east, and Brittany and Will are west also contributed to whether we really saw ourself wanting to retire there. Land may be in our future again, but it will be closer to the grandkids next time.
