Wow!! Seeing all your "welcome backs" warmed my heart...like "Cheers" where everyone knows your name!

Thank you all for the unpacking encouragement as well.

Oh, Pat - I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you begin the packing/moving process. You've got a lot on your shoulders and it has to be hard to go through your mother's possessions as well. Moving cross-country will be a change, but as far as the "stuff" part of it, honestly I've done both and it's almost easier to do the long distance because everything has to be packed and ready on a certain day. I dawdled around, shlepped things over here and there, then didn't have everything ready when the movers arrived and had to schlep more stuff. Arrrggghhh!!!

Most of my relatives are in KY! If you want to say - or PM me - what part are you moving to?

Pat - Ok, I really have to catch up here...when did you move? Hey, want to have an unpacking party?

Seeker - Sending warm thoughts to you as well as you pack and move. Two weeks...the countdown begins.

I have a couple of antique pieces that I want to sell, one that I did purchase at an auction. If you don't mind my asking, what kind of cost or percentage to auctioneers charge...and do they come pick up the furniture?

It's great to be back!
