Hi Carey! I really enjoyed your post. Tony has a really beautiful camera and I have a little one that is very nice...but we are waiting for our digital to arrive. The kids have a digital camera and we plan to send lots of pics back and forth via the computer.
I gave away most of my good heels. I have about 3 nice pair and some sandals and a pair of sneakers that are coming. I just couldn't bear to part with my good heels...although now I realize I will probably never wear them unless we come back here for a visit.
We are gonna dump all that plastic wear stuff and get new on the island...it's cheap enough to replace. I got some really nice blue Pyrex baking dishes as a wedding gift - gave it away. I can always replace it. My black cast iron frying pan that is so nicely seasoned (LOL) - I'm bringing it even though it weighs a ton. I can cook anything in that!
Since they are tenting the house and before we can actually move in we're gonna have to go through it and clean it. It's been empty a little while. Wanna vacume the bugs and spiders and etc. Here's what's funny - I have an Oreck and a Kenmore canister vac - but they probably wont arrive until we are there for a couple of weeks or more. I'm gonna need a vacume cleaner. I'll have to scrounge one up from one of my nice neighbors to borrow LOL!
The time is starting to go quickly with the date of the move heading toward us. Tony has the next week off to empty the garage of his "man stuff" and paint the interior, and finish up on the small stuff around the house here to get it on the market. The way things worked we will not have to be here to sell the house in Arizona, so we're just gonna head over as soon after the closing as feasible.
All of the things everyone is saying on this thread is so helpful. And whatever I do that could have been different...well, that's just life I guess. I hafta learn for myself what I could've done without or what I wish I still had. Keep the advice coming though, I'm not too proud to listen!
