jmcclannan Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'll bet your head is spinning with ideas about what to put where. Have fun getting settled in your new digs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy Quilting Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Patty enjoy your new adventure. It is great to see you have your boys helping you. Maybe you can build a loft in your quilting room. Thinking of you with all those boxes. I still have some unpacked from 3 years ago. My husband still has some from 23 years ago.....he is a hoarder!

PattyJo Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks all - I'll be signing papers tomorrow and getting the keys. All kinds of excitement/sadness/joy/tears on the plate. I know that it is time, so I will do this, but some of it sure isn't easy. But I'll laugh my way through it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 What a good idea...all we need is a bedroom or two, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a big quilting studio! Hope you get one in your new house. For the first time in my life I have a nice, big home and I think this is all backwards. I now have 3 bathrooms and two people to use them, and five bedrooms for two full time people, and a nice finished basement for my quilting studio. Silly, isn't it(not the studio part)? More to clean and store junk in! You are making a good move. I wish you all the best! God Bless!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonbon Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Big hugs and kudos too you while you adjust to the next transition in your life. I know we couldn't do it all without the support of family and friends! Sounds like an exciting adventure while bittersweet. Take care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyJo Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Well, I'm still packing and the movers will be here on Friday @ 8 am. So much to do, starting to run around in circles. Why does my mind do that to me???? Oh, well. It just confirms to my son that I'm getting old - :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saratogaquilter Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Good luck my dear Lady! I made that move 15 yrs ago. Left with very little, except with family eirlooms. I'm ashamed of myself as I look at all I've accumulated since. This is good thing! Take your time and savor every moment. The excitement and the saddness. And rely on your family and friends here on the forum. Best wishes on a successful transition! (((((HUGS)))) Sheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Sending hugs and best wishes for a smooth move my friend. I know that this is not really easy in some respects, but your outlook on life is so positive I know you will smile and be joyful through it all.

Robin Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I hope you can have someone with you when you leave your old house for the last time. I left my farmhouse after almost 20 years there and was bringing the last load so was all alone. It was pretty hard to turn off the lights for the last time, especially to the kids rooms where they had spent their growing up years. Oh, now I'm gonna cry.:( But, on the brighter side, you have many new wonderful memories to make in your new home! May God bless you and be with you through this new adventure, Patty Jo.

Busy Quilting Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I also was the last to leave my family home when we moved, BUT I left he carpet cleaners to lock up, wasn't quite as hard. Houses do hold lots of memories, but new ones will quickly replace them in the new home. Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattyJo Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 thanks all - I'm not sure that I'm going to be ready for the movers, so I may be postponing the move day until next Monday....still thinking about that......my fingers are almost bloody stumps and so tender that it is hard to do much at all. I'm going to get some thick lotion on them pretty quick. Which reminds me to not go into the bathroom, close the door do my business, wash my hands and then put lotion on. I couldn't grip the door knob to get out, so I was in there for an extra 10 min trying to rub it all in! See I do learn from my experiences And, I can tell my own jokes and laugh at them without anyone here! I think I'm a bon-a-fide goof ball. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will deal with this transition with grace and humor as usual, dear friend. A lot of work and memories to go through, but worth it when you are settled and back to a routine.

PattyJo Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 thanks all - And I did postpone my moving day until next Monday.....now I can breath and not be in such a rush. Went over to the new place and checked on the new carpet and laminate flooring that they put down - - beautiful. And it is so nice to have new carpet in the bedrooms, and a hard surface will be under my Millie when I get her set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 LOL Pat - you've gotta stock the bathroom with a couple of hand towels! That way, when you've got too much lotion on, you can use one to get you out of there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
