Day 14.  Went up to the new house today with another load of boxes.  As I mentioned previously, this new place is close enough (90 minutes) to drive to and bring things up a little at time.  I have been loading my car (to the brim) every trip with boxes and then unpacking the boxes once I get there and bringing the boxes back with me.  No, I don’t need more boxes – I am just doing this so that I do not have a mountain of boxes and tons of unpacking to do later.  This strategy does not work with all moves, but this time it is working out well.  Each time I go to the new house, the place looks more and more put together and there is only about 20 boxes in the garage to be unpacked later.

Here’s a photo of our new backyard and the peaceful pond that awaits me.

I am working on organizing  the kitchen this week so I will talk about that strategy in the next blog post.
