“Proofreader“  caught this little mistake too.  Don’t let my observation distract from the merit of the message. (Let me know if you decipher that word.)

Too many interruptions!! I went to the Christmas dinner in the RV Park Activity Center (after a morning loading the cargo trailer).  Then a long walk with a friend and her dog. A visit followed in my yard. Shortly after I returned to loading the trailer, another visitor arrived and more conversation. Although it was getting dark, I continued to load items into the cargo trailer. The trailer–and Lorraine–needs to ready to “go” at 7:30 tomorrow morning. I surmise that items that don’t get into the trailer will end up as donations to Habitat for Humanity. In a week or more, my car will be full of the things I’m holding out to “make do” while still in Livingston, Texas. No room for miscellaneous stuff. ~~ This brief message before I go to bed early hoping and praying I can get a good night’s sleep. Second load to Waco tomorrow.

…been packing for the move but I couldn’t resist pursuing my first love!!

A simple “thank you” is inadequate so I traced the ancestry of the very kind, thoughtful, considerate man who transported my possessions from Livingston, Texas, to Waco, Texas.

A busy day and very few pictures. This is primarily a “thank you” blog message.

(#1) A dear girl-friend sent three gifts (my only presents). SINCERE THANKS, Deb!!  ~~ (#2) Perfect weather for outdoor projects!! (#3) Thankfully, “the old lady” managed to load a lot more things into the cargo trailer. Only one more day to complete the moving and packing. ~~ “Early to bed, early to rise….”

.

Yes, I was up early Christmas morning (5:00), and curious about the contents of the packages. Deb remembers I buy “organic” and healthy food.

…two (2) Aleve PM, I enjoyed a good night all-night sleep!!

…Harry Smith on NBC Today show for an interesting story about the anxiety we experienced prior to New Year 2000. Do you remember the anticipated Y2K problem??

…warmer weather, I was able to get a lot accomplished outdoors.

…two (2) Aleve, at noon, to mask discomfort from moving items and blowing leaves off the patio and driveway.

…friends and acquaintances who stopped by to learn details about my pending new home in Waco, Texas. I’ve received lots of hugs!!

.

…I wrote about Random Acts of Kindness.

Three months later, this blog message and months later this message.

**If** I sacrificed the garden paraphernalia, one trip would have been sufficient.  “Yard” sales and “moving” sale failed to meet my downsizing need. My new home has a large yard so I might continue gardening. Waco is a large city(!!) so a “yard sale” might bring interested customers? ~~ Today: A cold day–with sunshine–and bundled-up old lady made great progress toward the second (and final) load. Warmer weather is predicted so the remainder will be loaded soon. (Each trip [to Waco, Texas] costs me $600.00.)

Two-year “anniversary” of my ouster from the CARE Center and move to this secondary address at the Escapees RV Club Rainbow’s End RV Park in Livingston, Texas. Regrettably, I’m being forced to move AGAIN. “Rejection”  is the story of my life. Honestly, I do not know why family and friends turn against me. Honestly, I do not know….
