Hey you....Hi out there!

Well I decided to grace you with my presense or is it presents or well anyway hello to you all from me. I have been packing up my over 30years of stuff and am getting near the end of my ropes with no patience left. DD is at CHA which I think is Crap Happens Always or something like that. I say it's crap happens always because I wish I was there too. She is having dinner with the big wig bloggers and has promised to give them my best wishes for a happy time. She is coming my way on this Thursday and we will have some quality time together before I close on the sale of my home. The close date is Tuesday August 3rd. and DD and I will then just leave for our trip to my new home town of Billings, Montana. Can't believe it but it will be true. Once I am situated I can start up my blog again and start visiting all of you more faithfully. I know you miss me ...you can admit it, I know you do so just let it all out and let those tears flow. Now doesn't that feel better??? There's no sin in feeling bad so I just won't. I will return with a happy smile for each and every one of you soon. Take care and know you are loved.

Oh Pat, you've sold your home! I'm so happy for you! I assume Billings is much closer to your DD's home, so you'll be closer to her and the grands! I hope you'll be very happy once you get situated, but I can only imagine how stressful packing up 30 yrs worth of stuff must be! Have a wonderful and safe trip to Montana and I'll be anxiously awaiting your first blog post from your new home! Oh, and BTW - CHA = CHARGE, & HAVE it ALL!! LOL

Montana crafters welcome you, Pat! We've shared grand workshop times. What a platform from which to have daily input! Bring glorious memories to share, Pat, blogland needs some creative spice after this spring/summer drought. You have been missed. Safe travels through box brigade.
Keep Looking UP!

Betty said...

awesome that you get to visit your daughter and then move to Billings where she lives! I'm sort of a neighbor then...I live in North Dakota! LOL
Good luck on everything.

Hi Pat! I'm originally from Billings too! You will love being there and close to your grandkids. My 90 year old mom still lives there and goes to jazzercise 4 times a week! Have a safe trip.

I sure hope some of your house selling luck will rub off on me! Jeff got me to pack up 3/4 of my kitchen last Saturday in 1-1/2 hours, the taskmaster! Wishing you all the best way out west!

Glenda said...

I think you are one gutsy lady to pack up and move across the country. Even if your daughter is there, this has to be quite an event for you! I wish you all the best and can't wait to hear what you have to say about the move! I'll miss you while you are away from blogland....Best of luck to you and yours!

Wow, what a lot to endure. My mother has already said that my brother and I will have to deal with her 35+ years of stuff when she dies because she doesn't have the energy to do it herself (of course, she's about to turn 90, so she's excused!). Good for you to tackle all of this and have the reward of being closer to Julie and the grandkids. It will be worth it! Take care of yourself.

Hi sweetie, I know it's a lot of work but I am soooo excited for you and maybe, just maybe there might be an eligible bachelor in your new neighborhood. wink wink

Janine said...

Love ya!

WOW, I know DD is delighted having you move closer. How wonderful that you will be near your DGK's, they will love it as well.
Can't wait to have you back in blog land.
Most of the hard work is done! Enjoy your new home!

Moving is stressful, but this will be a good move for you, closer to your family; these is just a new door opening for you on your journey through life. I wish you much happiness and some rest.

Sharli Schaitberger said...

Yes, I have missed you! I've checked in every week, and told myself to be patient. Now I understand better. I'm looking forward to hearing that you're getting settled in your new place and being creative!

HUGS - and best wishes.

Yes.. I admit it, Pat. I've missed you. But am so excited for you and your new adventure. Great news that you have sold your house. Yeah! We are just in the process of getting ours ready to sell. New roof is on.. new kitchen remodel starts in the next couple of weeks, etc. etc. Best of luck with your move. You have got to be excited about being close to the grandkids.. and Julie, too, of course! hehe Looking forward, too, to your return to blogland.
