New beginnings? Journeys, Part Two?

Which is the appropriate name for this next step? I have booked the Penske truck, arranged for loading and unloading helpers, and secured a storage space in Massachusetts.

Honey and her cradle are packed - ready to be welcomed into her new room in Massachusetts. While Jack, our other travel companion, is coming to the end of the road with me. I have a family checking him out this following weekend. If not them, then I seriously have to consider returning him to the shelter from whence he came. I won't have much time to take him East and get him situated there so I'm thinking that his stop will be in Indiana. My heart breaks for him but I'm praying that this will be a good move for him also.

Now begins the task of remembering what needs to be turned off, final bills to be paid, and figuring out a budget for the items that I will still have as monthly expenditures. Marking boxes for my room or for storage. Packing up the kitchen today!

Packing in Indiana this weekend. I don't have a closing date for the house. I'll just have to move forward without that.

The momma duck and her ducklings are nowhere to be seen - only the drakes and the turtles. I hope that the last four survived (she went from thirteen to four in just a few days' time). Probably that huge turtle in the pond swiped a few from her. Maybe she went somewhere else for safety.

Celebrating tonight with one last night out with my Big Bro and his wife - Korean BBQ! Onward!
