Packing the House **
Boxes stacked on boxes on top of boxes. Naked
windows. Bare walls. That's what every room of my house looks like.
We've been packing this week, preparing to put everything in storage.
Many people who choose to live on the road fulltime sell everything
instead of paying storage fees, but we know we'll be settling back into
"sticks and bricks" some day and we'll need these things again. So,
we're painstakingly deciding what is valuable enough to make the trip
and what gets sent to storage. Then there are the things that we'll
need later, but we don't necessarily want to bring them right now.
Things like Christmas stockings and holiday books that are a
tradition. Those things will be packed separately and taken to a
friend's house. She'll send them to us when the time comes.
We're making really good progress, but we have a long way to go.
We're hoping to start loading the storage units (yes, there are more
than one) this weekend, so for now, it's back to the closet, where I
have a critical decision to make...crocs, hiking boots, tennis shoes,
and a pair of dress boots? Will that be enough? Oh, but what about
sandals? I have some really cute sandals. They don't take up much
room, right?
