Home is where the heart is


5/25/10 Six piece wicker set, sold on craigslist for $75; kitchen table and chairs, given away

Tonight, we shall not sleep at home. In fact, we shall never sleep at home again. At least not at this home.

The final furniture downsize of 34 Lukes Road took the form of our kitchen table, which we gave to my friend and teaching colleague Jason, and a set of wicker furniture that I had no trouble selling in about three hours on craigslist.

With nothing left to sit or sleep on, there's little reason to stay in this house for the remaining seventy-two hours of our ownership. This little family of five has transitioned to our temporary rental until the end of the school year. Any time left in the Casco Cabin will be spent cleaning it up and preparing it for the new owners.

But, I'm cool with that.

As far as I'm concerned, wherever Joanna, Chase, Bird, and Trane are, that's my home.

  1. How's the wrist?? Mom-u-pational hazard? Chase-onitis? I sure hope his weight plateaus a little, soon!

  4. Ah, comments from three beautiful women -- a Downsizing Challenge first, perhaps.

    JDV: the wrist is possible carpal tunnel. She needs to be careful.

    Amy: the lakehouse is wonderful. Feel like we've moved up in the world!

    Mandy: these long days will all pay off in the end...
