More progress on divesting of the remainder of our possessions. We still have some furniture in storage that we had envisioned that one of our kids would eventually take. But we have realized that it is not to be. The dining room furniture is going to have to find a new home.
We did not have a real attachment to most of our stuff, but this furniture was bought with it being an heirloom and passing down in mind. We just were not able to put it in consignment or drop it off at Goodwill. Thanks to a very dear cousin in South Carolina we don't have to now. The dining room is staying with family and going to a beautiful new home.
We rented a U-Haul, loaded it up and made the half-day drive to my cousin's. It is not really that far but we stopped frequently to stretch and recharge our refreshments. Kind of practicing the way we think we want to travel as full timers. We look to travel about 4 hours on any given travel day. You don't make a lot of distance that way, but being that we are not vacationing there is no reason to push it. We won't have to be pulling out of one campground at the crack of dawn just to make it to the next at 0'-dark thirty. We should be able to pack up at a leisurely pace and still get to our next spot with time to get set up and be settled in in time for supper.
It was really great spending the weekend with my cousin and her family. The kids are at the age where there is no moment that is not filled with an activity. It has been awhile since our household was that way. It was refreshing being around that again.
The storage room is now thinned out enough that we are beginning to see the possibility of getting it completely empty and releasing it. Outside of our kids, that will be the last physical tie we have to where our roots have been set for the past 29 years.
T minus 62 days until departure from Georgia.
