Moving is such a royal pain and you have probobly found that you have "collected" tons of stuff while you were in your old home. So, good luck with your choices and enjoy your new home (when it is ready).

Hang tough Pete it will all work out in the end!!!!!!!!

Good Luck with the adventure, I hope you'll have enough room for all your'e gear in the new place. You may have to put an addition on for just your'e tackle. LOL

You.....go 4 months without making lures????  

Somehow...I gotta think that ain't gonna happen   

A tip.....when you're computer is shut down...and got the itch to post....head over to the local library

Good to know things are coming together for you 'bro...and that you should make it to La Crosse next summer

Good Lord willing....this will all work out for you my friend!

Congrats on selling your house, and hope you get settled into your new home as quickly and easily as possible. Good luck!

sounds like yer having allot of fun there petie and like dave said 4 months without doing yer crafts......lmao

Good luck with all the move Pete. It will be over before you know it. Just keep at the contracter so he doesn't get behind.

Brian

So where are ya movin too?

So today Karen and I take a truck load of stuff over to the church for the Bazaar. We spend a few moments talking with Pastor Charlie and then head back home to do more packing and have a quick lunch before the inspector arrives...Little did we know that the potential new owners would also be coming! Well the inspector arrived and set himself to his job and Karen and I did our best to answer any questions that he had. About an hour later a couple in their mid 50s arrived and we introduced oueselves...Wow! What nice folks! We talked and talked, much to the amusment of the inspector, and really got to know each other (the realitors didn't want us talking to each other, afraid that we might ruin the sale). It turns out that what attracted us to this location is the same thing that attracted them; peace & quiet, beautiful views and no traffic to speak of!   Their hobbies turned out to be very similar to ours and before you know it they were sitting down at the table sharing a cup of coffee. Karen asked if they had a church where they worshiped and they said not really but that they were open to suggestions...They will join us this Sunday for worship!

Ya know, Karen and I were praying for the house to sell, that leaving this area would not be to difficult for us to handle and enlighten us as to the new direction that He might have us take. We feel blessed that we have had an opportunity to meet this couple and will be able to worship with them! I must say that we are truly amaized at how this day turned out...lol!

Brian, you are correct when you say that our plate is full! We have lived here for 18 years...This is a house that is completely custom, designed by us...our heart & soul went into this project because ya see, this was to be our last home on earth...Which just goes to show ya that nothing ever stays the same, especially when you have control of nothing! lol!

Ray, we are moving 18 miles to the north and slightly east, 5 miles outside Lebanon, Pa. It is a beautiful valley but we will be packed in like sardens, big change for us! Our new home will be a single story, no basement, 3 bedrooms, great room, dinning room, kitchen, breakfast nook, laundry, two bath, screened in porch and two car garage (1700 sq. ft.) which is about half the size of our current house.

Tomorrow morning I have bible study then it's off to the scout office to pay for popcorn sales and then back home to finish the tractor...Whew!

It's to bad I live sofar away Pete. Otherwise I come over there and teach them deer some respect. (like make jerky out of them) LOL

Gosh Pete, you make me feel like a lazy bum.

well turnip it will be tought but over with before you know it , last time we moved it was 23 yrs. ago and our house was paid of 5 yrs. ago there going to carry us out but i"am glad your going to a smaller house less work for wife and you. i have 5 brothers and 4 sisters and they helped with last move we started at 9am and finished by 1pm. we have only moved 3 times and thats it were in our late fiftes. enjoy your new home my friend.

Your backing the computer away. Oh No!!!! That means I'm going to have to call ya more often to keepl in touch. I'll be going through turnip withdrawl. How long before you'll be back on-lline?

Not sure Frank! If I can get on Karen's lap top (wireless connection) at the appartment perhaps two weeks. I'll give ya a heads up before I shut down!

Holy mackerel Pete! I just found this thread and quickly read through it. Moving can be either traumatic or exciting - or both at the same time. Good luck with it and I hope there isn't much grief for you and Karen.
