Wed update

Well, the younger generations of this family are sleeping at the farm tonight. They dismantled grandson's bed and packed it, as well as his dresser, bookshelf, and toy bins, and hauled them to the farm, along with several sewing machines from Daughter's collection.

My horse shoer came out this morning, and put shoes back on Indy so that I can go back to work. As soon as he was finished, I hitched up the horse trailer, and hauled it home, to be used as a moving van. We have a couple more days to use it for that before I go back to work. Saturday will most likely be the earliest I'll actually be working.

Packing up after 15 years is hard. I've started weeding out clothes I haven't worn in more than a year. It will be freecycled. I've been donating books to the elks lodge, and tossing out those that I got from a dumpster behind a bookstore.

We aren't moving all the furniture out of the house right now. We are only moving what will be staying in daughter's home, and the bare minimum needed for husband and I to live in her house. The rest will be arranged to look as good as possible while the house is for sale. We will then rent a portable storage unit to pack it in till our own house is ready. They will bring you the unit, you pack it and they then move it to where you want it, or store it till you need it. We will have them take it to Needville, and have it all ready to put in our new home, once it is assembled on the property.

My skin is improving each day. I've stopped using the gel dressings. There is a small area still to heal, but the gel wasn't staying in place, so it wasn't helping anyway. My hair is very soft, and seems straight, but is a dark dishwater blond. No grey, though.
