Our Last day and night in our home

Well, we did it!  We put our farm on the market and we have a buyer.  One thing I love is that a local farmer bought it.  This is a great farm and I'm glad someone will continue to grow crops on it.  That was a blessing from God.  Another blessing was, we can take our clothes and walk away.  They wanted everything in the house and on the farm!  YAY!  We don't have to have an estate sale or auction.  We can get in our motorhome and drive away.  God has blessed us in so many ways this week and yesterday was one blessing after the other. 

We are tired!  We have worked so hard to clean out our personal stuff (tax records, files, clothes, etc.) and giving our kids all the family pictures.  Man,  we accumulate so so much over the years.  We have learned that "stuff" is over rated.  Who needs all that stuff!  Do you know what's gonna happen to it when you die?  Yeah, that's right.  Your kids are going to throw it away.  They're going to have an estate sale or auction and sell it all.  Less is best.  That's our motto, now. 

Today, we will empty the house of our most personal belongings and leave it for the last time.  Our home from now on really will be wherever we park it.  We will take our time heading west to California to visit Mike's uncle.  Then we will head south to El Paso, Texas to visit our daughter and grandsons before going to Florida for the winter.  We are on no time schedule.  We will get wherever, whenever.  We are taking our time and taking the time to "smell the roses" or see that "largest ball of twine".  We will own our motorhome and a jeep.  That's all.  One of these days in the future, we may decide to settle back down and at that time, we will buy a permanent dwelling but for now, we are gypsies. 

We are so excited and I hope all of you will be excited for us.  This is why we worked so hard all those years.  Now we are retirement age and we can live our dream life for as long as God will allow. 

We want to thank our kids for telling us to "go for it".  We will!
