I do not envy your packing and moving, even if it is only a short distance!!!

Ha! Yes 30 yards isn't too far. The garage is also holding lots of stuff. The garage is 20 yards away. We have ordered a 20-ft shipping container to store some furniture. Such an endeavor does help you throw away what you don't need.

This is rural Montana. The foundation has to be before permafrost in October. The house will be built in the winter. Ron will be coming and going. But yes, photos will come your way.

As usual, I am impressed. I think they will be carrying me out of this house and my kids will have to deal with packing!

Don't be too impressed. Currently, I am "resting" from taking clothes up to the guest house. Then, I took some pots and pans up there. Then, I rested again. And so it goes until cocktail hour.

Can’t believe that was 31 years ago - the year Dylan was born! Love the image of Ron navigating that tiny shower! I laughed out loud!

If only that description were folly! Remember, if we didn't turn a certain switch (the one we used to pop popcorn, there was no hot water.) Those were the days when 5th wheelers were quite rustic.

Moving is one of the most stressful experiences for anyone, especially when we're older! Congratulations!

Hi Mark,

You make an astute observation. I am trying to pretend I am forty. LOL

I do know the feeling, but can't pull it off anymore. I sure miss 40.
