So we decided to make the move to Idaho a week long vacation as well. We decided to go to California and hit Monterey and San Francisco. We started with a quick stop at a random truck stop along the way. It was an 8 hour drive day. We ate at Panda Express and then…
We Did Make It To Our New Home
We made it to Idaho on Sunday. As you can expect things are crazy busy for us all. “B” is working, our house stuff was delivered on Monday, and the joys of unpacking has started. I have a blog for our vacation written, but I don’t have the pictures to go with it yet so…
Gun Ownership and Rights
Time for one of the postings that will offend almost everyone in one way or another. I grew up in a family where guns were considered fine. We didn’t have guns around us all the time, but when Igot older I learned that there were a couple guns in the house. I grew up in…
Quick note – And a Beach
We are traveling to our new home in Idaho. I am working on a long write up of this vacation and will post it once we are in Idaho. I am also working a write up of our last week of seeing people before we left. I hope to get those up with pictures sometime…
Notebook for My Spouse
This is another post about a fun things my wife and I learned about from doing an Adventure Challenge. This one had us go to a store, we went to Target, and we bought small, nice notebooks. The purpose of the notebook is simple. We each have one that we write in when we feel…
It Has Begun – A Sad Day
So, we left Arizona today (Sunday). I have lived in AZ my entire life (almost 45 years), and now we have left. In those 45 years the longest I have ever lived away from AZ is 8 weeks when on vacation. Now we begin our journey to our new home in Idaho. As you know…
Dinner with a Former Student
A few weeks ago a former student of mine, “D”, emailed me and asked if she could have my wife and I over for dinner with her and her boyfriend before we moved. We said yes, and said that it would be great if it could be the week of the movers and when the…
Flooring at the New House
As I mentioned before we decided to replace the carpet in the new house. It was worn in most of the house, and so we decided to do it now before all the furniture got in. Makes the most sense after all. We went with Costco and they subcontract out to a local place in…
Moving Out – Day 3 and Their Gone
Today was day 3 with the moving company. They got here again at 5:30am to get to work. There were 3 different guys here today and no woman. It was primarily a load day with just a little bit left to actually pack. They worked hard and were done by 10:45am. They did a fine…
The Moving – Rest of Day 2
So, as I mentioned in yesterday’s post the movers got here early and worked all day. Tuesday was a lot of loading, and packing. Monday was all packing and no loading at all. But this day was full of boxes and furniture getting out and into the truck. They packed the garage, the main floor,…
