The Story Continues....

Our moving van arrived, not the same truck, not the same driver, BUT, I'm sure they attended the SAME, no customer service work shop as the loading driver ! ! 
Again, not the company's name who I paid???



So, on May 14, I learned the lesson of, "If I open my mouth, I will destroy you !"
I learned working at a bank, when I have no control, have no power, my chest will tighten, my back between my shoulder blades starts of hurt...and I HAVE to walked away

They broke my Grandmother's Rocker ! No more words......


Husband said very loud, "Get this unloaded...now !"


The pew made it. 


And the box of STUFFED fish made it ? ! ! ?  !


So, we are home and we are HAPPY !

Moving to Florida

Pin It
The story continues...

We sold all our furniture, only taking, the church pew, dining room table and chairs, living room rug and my Grandmothers Rocker. I think that was what was the hardest and at the time, I didn't really understand it. 35 years of STUFF, was gone and I think thats why our movers were not .....human, they didn't get it, it was a job, it was about them, it was NEVER once about us, as customers, as people, not one stick of customer service. Yes, it's just stuff, but not a lot of stuff.


Table and rug in


Pew next, this is a rented truck, this is NOT our movers company, I asked ! 

On April 26th we headed to see our kids in Minnesota, for 3 days.



Then a couple of days of rest before boarding a flight to 
Sunny Florida and our new home


Our corner of the world, our new home and no longer rental property. 
I'M HOME !

Keep watching !

It's REALLY Going to HAPPEN, Moving.....

Pin It
It's A BIT funny the things that make 
something real to you. 
A house offer, an inspection, an appraisal all done. But, it's didn't all seem real until I started unloading my office. 


My office Before



The shelves are to stay with the house


Packed up all my books, papers and ideas.
I'm ready for our NEW adventure

Staging a Bedroom, Making Rubber Tubs into a Bed

Pin It
Doing it a bit Different 
This is the corner where my buffet was at one time. This room has never had a bed in it, it was my sewing room. So putting the house on the market it needed a bed.
Making Rubber Tubs into a Bed

I took the packed fabric tubs and make a Day Bed

My Singer Feather Weight Sewing Machine

Pin It
I knew it was in the closet and seeing it again, well...
It's been a very long time
I had to say good-bye to it's original box years ago and this carpet bag 
is perfect for it.

my singer feather weight sewing machine

A Singer Feather Weight - 
My mom gave this to me years ago and I used it for classes for years. 
She tells the story behind it.  This sewing machine was the first thing that her and my Father purchased together. She remember is being around 70.00 dollars. If they did it on payments my Grandfather would have to co-sign. They saved and purchased with cash, she said with a very large smile.  The pedal was replaced sometime ??







It works wonderful 


And So Pretty
