Vince told me if I go to Missouri one more time before my “stuff” (not the word he used) is packed, he’s selling it all. He said his ad will read something like “Wife refuses to pack her stuff (not the word he used) and won’t stay home and help so I’m selling yarn, fabric, batting, sewing machines and a longarm cheap!”
I told him I will report him to the authorities because he would be selling stolen merchandise!
Of course we’re both joking (I am . . not sure he is!) but today I’m trying to make some real effort to at least make it look like I’ve packed a lot of stuff before I go back to Missouri.
Yesterday we took apart the computer desk, printer stand and big ironing table and moved those out to make room for stacking boxes. He also took out a recliner. It’s hard to take much else out of there til I get some things moved out of the way. We can’t take any of the buckets of grain, sugar or flour out yet because the shop is too hot. I guess we picked the worst possible time to move but . . we’ll get it done somehow.

There is not a ‘good’ time to move; it’s just hard labor and emotionally draining. Stay with it and you will prevail.
Judy Laquidara says
The problem here is that the boxes have to be hauled from the house to the shop and it’s getting hot enough in the shop that soda cans are exploding. In a month or so, the heat will be way more bearable.

Pack, Judy, pack!
Liz says
Take some in progress pictures for us – I’m sure you have an older picture that shows the sewing room in very good condition.
I hope Boots doesn’t like to jump into boxes or you’ll just have to check before taping up each one 😉
Judy Laquidara says
Box #1 and I realized he does like getting in the boxes. He’s a huge cat so it’s easy to see him in there. It’s taking twice as long to pack since I have to fish him out of every box every time I start to put something in it.
Rebecca in SoCal says
Could you do two boxes at once? Then you could add to whichever box he is not in.
Joyce says
Maybe you could give him his own box temporarily. I had to laugh at the thought of him jumping in the box every time you turn your back. He wants to make sure you don’t leave him behind… 🙂
Elle says
I’m thinking Vince wants to live a bit longer so the yard sale won’t actually happen 😉
Nelle Coursey says
He is not going to sell your stuff! Even if I have to let you put it in our rented storage locker!! LOL Besides that place is yours until you sell it. So you don’t have to do it all at once!!
Dianne Smith says
Pack, Pack, Pack…Judy!! Hurry, Hurry, Hurry!!!!
