Our much-anticipated move from The House on Hybiscus began at 8:30 a.m. this morning and ended at about 5:00 p.m. this afternoon.
Our desire to downsize as retirement comes in about three years was finally fulfilled today.
We're slowing down. We're cutting expenses. We're reducing the number of hours spent on housework and on yard work and on maintaining a pool. We're heating and cooling a smaller space. We're getting old. We're tired. We needed this move. And today we got it.
 |
| In preparation for this move, Debra emptied and packed all the kitchen cupboards and drawers earlier this week. |
 |
| Don and Paul, our professional movers, gave us the red carpet treatment. They also kept our floors protected. |
 |
| Four hand-trucks worth of boxes ready to load. |
 |
| The master bedroom, as The House on Hybiscus slowly slips from our grasp. |
 |
| As Don and Paul got close to finishing the loading of the truck, I got a bit bored, so I read while I waited for them to complete the job. |
