Life is changing again

[red1030]

I don't have a lot to say except that my life just doesn't want to slow down. I feel that it was just thanksgiving and then there was the secret santa and lots of painting orders, and then the wedding and lots of company, and now I am moving. We rented an apartment that is 1/4 of the size of my home and we are scheduled to start our moving as of May 1, 2009. My open house on my home is on May 3rd and I need to be out of the house by then so that the real estate agent and lawyer can stage my home as they say. I won't go into it all, but it is going to be ok, and it is ok in my heart. Life happens as they say, and this too shall pass. A smaller home will be much easier to care for, so maybe I can even go on next years Florida trip etc. The bottom line is that I may not be on a lot, but will try to read at least daily. Today I have to get my craft room down stairs completely packed so that Del and patch and paint before picture day which is on Wednesday. This was sort of sudden but I think Del and I have adjusted to it rather well.

Also as you remember, Del was ill for several months. He is scheduled to have a surgery on April 29, which of course is just one day before we have to start our move. My two son's that live close and I will do the move while Del recovers. We have hired a couple of my son's friends to help also, as I have several large pieces of furniture.

I am a little overwhelmed with it all right now, because my house is full. I have to schedule an estate sale because I am down sizing a lot of rooms. Luckily this apartment has a garage that I can put some crafts in but not all... I will not have a craft room which is the first time in 10 years. I have something worked out in my drawings on how I can still paint somewhere in the house...

emails, phone numbers except cell will change again soon..so stay tune all....

Just always know that I am thinking of you all...and miss you even more...love you all Red

I just thought I would so you some pictures of our family easter day also..this is what keeps me feeling well and happy...

Red I am so sorry you are having to go through this. I know you will miss your home but jus think of how much less cleaning you will have to do I wish I could b there to help, Randy has been very sick so even if I could afford to I don't think I could be there to help.

If you need to talk I'm here but I won't call because you are so busy and need your rest. I'm here if you want to talk though.

Hugs,
monster

Going to bed in a minute but I wanted to say thanks to all of you for your thoughts and caring comments. This is going to be very hard for me, as I am sure it is hard for halftrak...but as Vicki said, we will all get through it and gain strength as a result. Monster don't worry, you can call anytime. It would most likely pick me up a lot. Vickie called last night and it was wonderful. jayne...love you too and I do know where you are in this...and I thank you so much for caring sweet heart. bummer thanks for the pm...will write tomorrow. Love you all Red
