Packing, packing, packing!

Haven't done an update in a bit. Well, we SOLD our house in just 3 1/2 weeks on the market.  Phew.  I was sweating it  big time. We are closing on both this house in Westerly, RI and our new home in Windsor, CT on June 15th (Friday).  The movers are moving us out on June 14th...so, I'm packing up the house.  What a pain, but, it's not too bad cause I cleaned out SO much stuff prior to marketing it.  It should go quickly.

I'll be glad and happy when it's all over with, and I'm all unpacked at the new house and I can relax for the summer!  Bob will be glad to get rid of the 3 hr commute daily and the HUGE gasoline bill. Hope everyone is well.  Have a great summer! Paula

Hey there Paula, :wave: Its been awhile kiddo.  Glad to hear your closing on the houses.  I wish you, Bob and the Kids all the best on your new home.  Welcome to CT.  Glad to hear your commute will be less for you.  Now your closer to some of us. I wish you all the very best, take care and hope to talk to you soon.   Hugs Kim

Hey there..kimmie. It has been a while!  So much going on.  And, Anna is playing spring, travel soccer, so we've been on the road every Sat this spring. Got lots packed yesterday.  I don't know where the stuff comes from.  I cleared out so much stuff prior to marketing the house.  I sweat the stuff grows overnight just to freak me out in the morning!

It seems it'll never end. When is the picnic?  I can't remember.... Paula

 

The "Hepsters" are coming to CT!  Cool beans! Hope to see you at the picnic this summer. T.
