Lots to do in the next few months.....we are making a little progress. The boys are making decisions on things they would like. Sharon is dividing up heirlooms she would like them to keep. I am parting with my firearms....one of the difficult things for me, even though I haven't used them for several years. Sharon is concerned that they won't still work.........you guys may have not gotten such a great deal after all!!! The boys are taking all of them. I am happy about that and glad I didn't have to die for them to get the guns or the heirlooms. It is fun to pass things on while we are still here.
We spent the last two weekends cleaning the Hitchhiker. Had a dirty family move in over the winter. Mickey, Minne, and all the children were there for a while we think. They left messes all over. Dirty critters!!!! We have done some "deep" cleaning which probably needed to be done. Now it is the "Lady Bugs" and they don't want to leave either............Looking forward to keeping only one small home and we don't want to share it with these other families! (Oh, we are trying peppermint oil for the mice. Will let you know how it works. At least we smell good.)
FYI: Sharon is planning on bringing some items to the "Dodge, Jones, James" Reunion. We will do a family flea market for you. DO NOT feel obligated to purchase things you don't want. We just want to give you guys the first opportunity. We hope to have most of our "stuff" gone or spoken for by this fall. One more winter in Columbia and we will list the house in February 2011. Should it sell quickly, our home will be wherever it is parked.
SOUTH DAKOTA: The more I read, I am thinking we will be residents of Sioux Falls,South Dakota when we retire. Low taxes, low insurance rates, NO vehicle inspection, don't have to be there to get license plates, easy to establish residency, good mail forwarding service, and the full-time rver parked next to us this weekend said all he had to do was trade his driver's license in.........NO written exam, NO driving exam!! Sound too good to be true?? We sure hope it isn't one of those deals. http://www.mydakotaaddress.com/
Well, we wish some of you could go with us on this adventure. I'm sure it won't be fun all the time but we are looking forward to no schedule, no pressure, visiting new and different places, and drinking lots of coffee when we get up at 8:00 a.m. Please don't spend any time worrying about us. Whatever trials and tribulations we have, may be no worse than if we were right where we are now. We just hope you will follow your dreams and, as us, do what you want to do!
