I’m trying to be practical and methodical about the upcoming move, but emotions cloud the process. I fluctuate between excitement and trepidation. Moving, after all, does require letting go.
We’ve been going through the boxes in storage – things we’ve moved from house to house, and seldom looked at. Ric found his mother’s silver serving utensils and has been paralyzed for a day contemplating what to do about them. I suggest he should save them for his next wife, in case she likes polishing.
Thank goodness for timelines and lists. It forces us to stay on track. Must keep those ducks in a row.
We want to keep the ducks in a row so they’re easy to shoot, reload, shoot. It may be a bit more sporting to let the ducks have a fighting chance, let them have there moment of chaos. Elmer Fudd was just that sort of hero.

Very funny!😄 Sometimes I think it might be best to haul the boxes to the thrift store without looking in them first.

Nice one about the silver serving utensils. Unfortunately, I’m of the same persuasion of Ric.

Are you? I never understood it. My former husband’s family had hired help who kept the silver polished. 😩

When I was growing up, I was the polisher of the silver. It’s reason why I can’t give it up is that it was my mother’s wedding silver (same thing with the china).
