Progress

is being made with the move.  Finally!  We have a reservation at a RV park in Cottonwood, AZ, on the Verde River.  That is where we will spend the winter.  Slowly, boxes are being filled, stuff is being moved into Dragonfly, and things are being sold.  Not enough things are being sold, but we'll take what we can get.

A friend of my husband's is coming to help us get the big stuff into storage tomorrow.  What a good guy to give up part of his vacation to carry furniture!  I can't even get my kids to come help.  In their defense, they don't have vacation time and they live four hours away.  And that's all the defense they get.

I've gotten new bedding for the queen bed in Dragonfly; something to make me feel like this is going to be a special experience.  Our reservation in Cottonwood is for September 27th, so we have until the 26th to get everything boxed, tossed, sold, donated or stored.  My living room looks like a warehouse, and Dragonfly has totes and boxes sitting on every surface.  We may make the trip down the mountain with everything just sitting in the trailer, and spend the winter putting stuff away, then reorganizing, then tossing, then reorganizing again.  By Spring we will have decided whether we are staying in Arizona or moving up to Oregon.  Man oh man, will I be glad when this is over.
