A picture is worth a thousand words, isn't it?
Can anyone guess why I've been on a blogging break?
[To be continued..... meanwhile I'll try to start catching up on what has been happening in YOUR lives!]
The real me is the woman in this window, manual typewriter in front of her but holding a pencil posed over paper. Deer nibble at shrubbery on snow-covered lawn, fodder both for her writing and for her life. Or are they the same thing? [Picture by illustrator Adrianne Blair in Faith Baldwin's Face Toward the Spring.]
Is that flooring?? Dewena...if it is you are busy or soon will be. At first glance I thought it was beer cases. LOL. Blessings to you , xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteSorry, Susie, not flooring and not beer cases!
DeleteOh, dear friend, you've been reading MY mind! I'll be doing the very same thing in a couple of months... Bless you as you begin on this new journey. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is an exciting new journey, Mimi!
DeleteAre you moving?? Packing up for a new journey as Mimi said? So exciting!
ReplyDeleteYes, Kim! We are going to semi-retire! Moving away from Tennessee's cold winters. More details later.
DeleteWell, if you're moving, I hope you're at least going somewhere! I remember packing things on my entire first floor for the woods to be refinished - moved twice and went nowhere!
ReplyDeleteRita C at Panoply
But you ended up with beautiful floors, Rita!
DeleteMoving! Oh my, I feel for you. No wonder you've been busy. Wishing you joy on the journey.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Lorrie!
DeleteOh, my goodness. You must be moving! Closer to your kids? "Tennessee's cold winters." haha (from a New Hampshire girl!)
ReplyDeleteAway from our three sons, Nan, which will be hard but close to our daughter and son-in-law. Our sons and their families will have to come visit often!
DeleteIt is hard when they are in different places.
DeleteMoving! How exciting and stressful! I can't wait to hear more.
ReplyDeleteyou can imagine how exciting I find this!
ReplyDeleteand though the WORK is backbreaking and seemingly forever...
I love fresh starts of all kinds! XOXOXO♥
take care dsm... and REST as much as you can! ♥
You're moving! Oh, what fun it will be to follow this new chapter in your life. Looking forward to seeing it all unfold. Hugs, Nancy
ReplyDeleteI smell a moving van in your future. Oh dear ... that is the hardest work ever, and unpacking, even harder.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself.
Yes, I'd guessed moving!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting ... looking forward to reading and seeing more about it.
But take care ...
All the best Jan
Moving can be exhausting, Dewena. Good luck, and I'll be here when you return, my dear.
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri
I have never enjoyed even the idea of moving. Endings are so poignant, packing so tedious and good-byes too difficult. On the other hand, arriving holds so many possibilities. I hope you have an arrival flamboyant with possibilities.
ReplyDeleteOh boy! As someone who has moved 4 times in the last 5 years I do not envy you!!! No wonder you've been missing....well, know that we missed you! Remember to find a little time to rest and find peace....wherever you are, and wherever you're going.
ReplyDeleteYes, it looks like someone is moving. Can't wait to hear the news.
ReplyDeleteWhat a job! May your move go smoothly. Keep hydrated, keep a sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteLove, hugs & prayers ~ FlowerLady
That's a whole lotta work Dewena! Take care of your back and don't work too hard. A poignant and exciting time, looking backwards and forwards. Looking forward to hearing all about it! Blessings to you, Deborah
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought you were moving. But then I saw all the boxes were from Loews so I figured it might be tile. I guess my first instinct was correct! Wow, wow, wow! Don't keep us in suspense! Where are you going???
ReplyDelete(Don't be confused. It's househoneys. I changed my blog).

Well you look organized. My goodness we have just been remodeling...and I have no idea where my tweezers is for my eyebrows. Grins, good luck and hope it goes smoothly!
ReplyDeleteSandi
Take it slow, sweet friend and don't don't overdo it.
ReplyDeletehugs,
rue
WOW you have been busy. I am going to miss your kitchen:) I can only imagine how much you are going to miss your current place yet anticipate happily nesting in the new one. Many conflicted emotions, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear where you are heading, Dewena!
ReplyDeleteI'm praying to sale my house soon too.
Moving is both stressful and exciting (I couldn't guess. I took the idea from the comments before me!!).
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best! I gather you aren't moving north near me. :(
Jane
Been in our new home 10 months now. Still feels like moving. Hope for a speedy move, and a good one for you, no snags, no issues.
ReplyDeleteXOT
You're moving??! Tell all, tell all!
ReplyDeleteOh dear....best wishes on this big change!!
ReplyDeleteYou're moving! Hope you're going somewhere nice :-)

Brings back memories of 2010 when we packed up our big house to move and retire to smaller ones (we've moved 3 times since then trying to find where we want to be)... Good luck on your new journey. Hard to leave your sons but good that you are going to be closer to your daughter. I have 4 sons and 3 have moved to the Pacific Northwest in different states. One remains near where I live. ...anyway - i'm excited just looking at your boxes - I'm feeling the urge to move again.. I need to be a gypsy.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best for this new chapter. Grace and strength and joy for the journey.

Oh my gosh, Dewena! Where, oh where, are you moving to??? Wait - I think I just figured it out by reading the other comments and your replies. Wishing you good luck :)
ReplyDeleteMoving is hard but at the same time so rewarding. I hope where ever you end up you will be cozy and happy. Good Luck.
ReplyDeleteKris
