Well as I type we are basically living in 2 rooms in our house with most everything packed up and either donated or packed in our shed. Last night I asked DH where he put the bag he filled with the coats we wanted to keep. He didn’t know and I’m afraid to look through the bags left for donation that are still in one room. We have taken 15+ bags of clothes down so I’m not very hopeful that they are still here. I didn’t like using the big garbage bags and using them for both donations and for what we are keeping is just a very bad idea to me. Most of the furniture that I wanted to keep is now gone also. It really breaks my heart but that’s just how it goes. Everything he wanted is of course going with us. We took one pickup load of books to the used book store and have another to go. I was able to keep one small box of paperbacks I really like and he decided which of the reference type books and history books we were taking. When we reach our new home we will have a table with chairs, our bed, a bed and dresser for the spare bedroom, 2 TV’s, and his massage chair. That’s all the furniture. He said the lounge chairs from the patio and fine and all we need for now. This move is absolutely killing me as I do not do change well and almost everything is being changed. The next week we will finish up the cleaning and the house will go on the market. Let’s hope for a quick sale as I do not like living this way.

Are you moving the horses too? it took me a day to pack up horse stuff I would need. I always packed everything by myself and marked most every thing and room on the box. That let my in-laws know where to unpack it.

Well the house is now officially on the market. The upstairs is empty and the downstairs has very little, mostly just in one bedroom where we are staying. We’ve already made arrangements to board our horses at the real estate agent’s facility during our move so we won’t have to worry about them being taken care of. She owns a stable and training facility nearby. We will have a professional horse hauler take the girls up when we are ready for them at the new place. We just don’t feel comfortable moving the 3 of them that far ourselves. We have only hauled them short distances. Now to see what happens. The whole real estate office came up this morning to take a look and I could tell they were not really horse people since they didn’t want to see inside the barn. One did ask if there was power and water to it but that was all. As long as they sell the place that’s all that really matters. Here’s the link to the Realtor.com ad Click here

When I click on it, it says blank page. The moving sounds nice, I've seen some of those hauler's trailers and they are much nicer than mine. LOL I wonder how the horses will like Montana? I don't think mine would move back to WY if I went first.
Well it's been one wk since Rains accident. He's gotten his fly mask off once, and his good ear out of it twice. Not in the last two days though. He's been running the fence and whinnying at his brothers so I let them all into the grassy pasture together. Not sure who missed who worse.
One of my coworkers was eating lunch in the lunchroom with me and got dizzy and said it felt like her head was going to come off. I volunteered to run her across the street to the walk in clinic so we wheeled her out in the wheelchair to my truck... My lunch ended up being 2 hours and 15 min! It was a nice break. They gave her a shot for the dizziness, she didn't say what she had and I didn't ask.

LMM we have had so much rain this year it’s incredible. The percentage of normal precipitation for this year is well over 100% and the drought is over. They are split over what this will mean for fire season. It could keep everything moist and reduce the number or duration of fires or it could trigger heavy growth that dries out and becomes a tinderbox with an abundance of fuel. There has already been a few small fires, mostly escaped burn piles, and people are a little nervous that this year will be worse than last. They’re starting fire season early this year and it was still burning in November last year.

The first link still says blank page. That second place is not my style. I don't care for how open that barn is, it's going to blow snow inside all winter. And I think the house, although lots of space is not cozy? Can you imagine how much of your time would be cleaning, The west, CO, WY, MT isn't like the mid west(here) there's a lot of blown sand/dirt that accumulates. I would like it more if the inside had logs and not paneling? is that what it is?
We had a lot of visitors at church today, our church has grown the last year and is still growing. One lady had three kids and another on the way. A deputy Sheriff and his wife came too. I didn't get to meet most of them because today was pot luck sunday and I'm on the kitchen crew.

GR that’s the house we are selling not buying. The whole side of the barn is open but it’s on the southwest side and the wind seldom blows from that direction. The house stays nice with the pellet stove and heat pump. It would be better if we didn’t have the common driveway so close and people were more conscientious about the dust they kick up in the summer. It can get pretty bad but most summers you have to keep the windows closed and the A/C on anyway. I never want wood walls again as everything seems to stick to them. Dust, pet hair, and cobwebs appear overnight and stick the entire height of the walls. I’ve heard logs are even worse as they have a horizontal surface to collect everything on. The ad says 3 bedrooms but there are 5 and I sent a message to the realtor. We had 2 showings yesterday and during the second one some friends went by the house and said the family looking at it seemed excited and happy. We were at their house during the showing and took our dogs along so they wouldn’t be a nuisance. DH is already planning a trip to MT to put some things in storage and wants his buddy B to go with him and I’ll stay home. He really wants them to move too and B is all for it but his wife isn’t. I have a horsey friend that’s looking to move also and once we get a place locked in I can help her find something. She started prepping her house for selling long before we did but she says she hasn’t gotten very far. They did get a shipping container to store things in but it’s slow going. I could pack up her house much easier than my own although it’s as full or more than ours. It’s just easier when you have no attachments or memories for an object because we were always stopping and remembering things associated with the stuff. Wrapping and packing unknown stuff is far easier.

Jeez your house is huge!! how do you keep it clean? If I were going to build a home it would have a HUMONGOUS barn and my home would be above it. Really it would be. One bedroom, one huge open family room and a nice sized kitchen. Maybe a small guest bedroom.
Being married to an auctioneer you learn to let go of anything not tied down. We would keep mostly the things you couldn't replace, photo albums, things given to us through the years etc.. but all the furniture went. I insisted on keeping the washer and dryer though. I hate laundromats.

Yeah it’s huge and I can’t really keep it clean because I get no help. I was doing both inside and out for quite a while and I couldn’t keep up. Yesterday I washed jeans and I had 3 pairs and he had 6. It’s only been a week and he swears he wears a pair for a week but the laundry tells a different story. It looks like the house we really wanted, the one with the good barn, has an offer on it. The second choice seems to still be available. We are already getting fires. They said we are out of our drought but now we have so much undergrowth that they are predicting another bad fire season. We just can’t get a break.

Wait till you move and never have to breathe that smoke! I have trouble keeping my part of the house clean. Anthony doesn't help much with the cleaning, great with helping me with the horses and stuff outside but he's just not much for vacuuming or sweeping which is the major part of the cleaning down here.
Mom and I bought a blow up spa, it's really helping both her and Anthony. It's 104 degrees and has like 60 jets. She had a neck ache yesterday and after 15 min in the spa it was gone.
Anthony uses it at least once a day then tracks the leaves and debris into his room as it's on the patio outside our doors. Then goes to the shower so it goes up the landing and down into the laundry room to the shower. I vacuumed the stairs, landing, my large rugs in my room and swept evry thing else. It's not hard people!!!!!!!LOL But then he hooked up his trailer and we are waiting for the guy to get home so we can go pick up a dryer he has for sale. Can't really complain right?
I took two extra days off, need to get some stuff done. May have to take Rain back to the vet. She said to scratch the stiches and they should be dissolved enough to come off but they are just as sturdy as when she put them in.

I will be very happy to not live on a shared gravel driveway. Some people have no consideration when they drive by. If it’s dry we get a cloud of dust because they drive too fast down it. They since we’re the first house we get everybody driving past us. One of the neighbors was complaining last week about all the potholes in the road that he was fixing. He thought everyone should dodge the puddles, we mentioned they drive too fast and he agreed. He’s one of those that drive too fast past our place lol. Their house sits way back and up a hill from the driveway and there’s just one house past them. They have a locked gate on this end of the driveway and an unlocked but closed gate at the other end. They don’t get the dust we do because the driveway goes about 20-25ft away from our house. I could really smell the smoke this morning although it doesn’t look too bad outside. It did make me all stuffy though. I was going through pictures of the house that was our second choice and realized they put carpet in the living room where it had been vinyl or tile in the older pictures of the house. I sure hope they didn’t destroy it because the first thing we would do is pull out the carpet. I have learned to hate carpeting. I had so hoped to not have to do a lot of work on the next house.

I hate carpet too because it just doesn't feel clean. I even shampoo my three rugs in my room every month. LOL With allergies you learn that there is a lot of things in the carpet that irritate your allergies.
I see V hasn't been on here for awhile, anyone hear from her?? Wanted to see if she still has the JL riding manual for sale ...Hello V??
Have to go to Springfield tomorrow not sure what they're going to do with my veins tomorrow. Maybe a check up or maybe one of the procedures.
