Paring down

I don't know whether moving is the right or wrong thing to do. It's the nuts thing. Of that I am sure. It really wouldn't be unreasonable if we hadn't just moved less than a year ago. Moving we are though. Before I know it, we will say goodbye to corn fields and hello to Mickey Mouse.

We have given many van loads of our things away. We have sold some. I know there is more to go. I am questioning every item. Why, oh why, did I buy that doll house from a yard sale two months ago? And I think the weebles are breeding. Although I really wanted those candlestick holders nine years ago when we married, I sold them last Sat for four dollars.

Really though, in spite of all this, I am glad we are going. We will be closer to family. I wish we had done this move before now. We weren't ready. I know this. And I have learned wonderful things in Bloomington. I think we all have. Now, we will learn wonderful things in Orlando. Just as soon as I decide whether to keep all the painting supplies.
