I haven't done much or feel like I have done much this week to prepare for the move. I have packed up the china cabinet that Mother had and then I inherited and cleaned out the cabinets and shelves in the living room around the fireplace...We have been in a very clean mode for 6 months and now we have gone to the messy mode, which I don't like, but that is part of moving.
Today, around noon, I will be leaving with Kristi and the children for Dallas, to see Pat ,who is in school, learning about some new stuff for AT&T. He left two weeks ago and has two weeks to go in Dallas and then he is off to Kansas City, OK city or somewhere else, I don't know, I can't keep up with all this, I am doing good to keep up with my own stuff. It is bad to get old and try to keep up with all this, especially when you are trying to move.
I am looking forward to Dallas. Kristi and I have reminisced about the trips we made with Mother to Austin the see Kirk and family, and we would always have to stop in Dallas and go to the Galleria Mall, so guess what, we are going to the mall..
Will update on the trip later..Have a good weekend.....

July 19,2008--cleaning out storage buildings

Well, today was another hot day in Benton..Bobby and I started our three or four week trek toward moving from our present location at 3718 Salem Road. Today, we cleaned out the three storage buildings we have outside. We thought we had been disposing of goods or stuff ever since we have been in the location, which was 8 years on July 18th...Well, to our surprise we still have lots of STUFF...Kristi came over and helped me with the two smaller buildings while Bobby worked on the larger barn..What a job, but we got through the two smaller buildings and sorted things for yard sale and storage and Kristi and I, along with Donna Jo, made a run to the dump, which was my first experience at going to the dump without a man in the truck, but you know what, we made it just fine.. I feel like we made some headway in the outside buildings and now I can start working on the inside of the house. Bobby still has a ways to go in the barn, but I told him I would take care of the house. We were hot and tired, so we went out to dinner and had a wonderful meal. Now, we will wait and see what we can drag up for tomorrow...More stuff, stuff, stuff.
