Day 12. My dear husband’s birthday is today and   I managed to convince him that we should spend the night in the new house.  Of course, we took a load of boxes with us – you know, I can’t be unproductive!  While we were gone, 2 couples came with their Realtors to look at our home. Both are very interested and my agent thinks we may get an offer even before having an open house. (Oh, darn, now I don’t get to blog about staging!)

This weekend we are talking with our children to see what they want that we don’t need to take with us.  Things like landscaping materials/tools, extra cabinetry, chairs, bookcases and the like.  I had some positive response to what was being offered and even a few inquiries into things I wasn’t ready to part with!  Our children still seem to be processing the fact that we are moving away.  Perhaps they thought it would never happen?  I wonder how holidays will work now?  I am sure we will be coming to their homes and they will have the holiday meals and festivities to plan….. hmmm, that’s not such a bad thing, now is it?
