February 24, 2012 Leave a Comment
Little did I realize, when I told you last week we had vacated the Florida house, that the vacating process would take this long. . . We moved out, with our suitcases, dogs and laptops, one week ago. The estate sale happened on February 18. Somehow, I had visions of walking back in after the […]

Any move is a big undertaking, but the first overseas move is ginormous, so I thought […]
Countdown! Sleepless Nights
December 6, 2011 Leave a Comment
I think this week’s countdown can be described as “sleep-deprived zombieland.” The end of our fourth countdown week saw us taking away our dogs’ big wire crate where they’ve happily slept at night for several years, and putting them in their spacious travel kennels to sleep.
