They're coming today...

{{{{{{{{{{Morti}}}}}}}}}}}} (tight squishy hugs) Have I told you how "cute" I think you are?

Yes, change is definitely good this time. My new place is beautiful and so comfortable! It's just going to take time to make it MINE.

The good thing is that I've moved just 5 doors down from my Tin Can and can come back here when the "sad" gets to much. Then I can remember "it's a good thing."

What you said was wonderful, Morti. Plus the tight hug made it even that much more special. Sometimes we don't need wonderful words of wisdom. Just knowing that someone cares is enough. {{{{{{{{{{{Morti}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Sometimes you scare me, Woman! LOL This morning I woke up with the thought that I wish I could shrink the Tin Can and put it in my box of treasures. Well, I can't shrink it, but I can surely break off or cut off a piece of it and maybe even frame it?

It's always good to remember where we've come from or what we've "come through."

Don't remember being this sad when we moved from our five bedroom, gorgeous home out to the sticks. Don't remember being this sad when we sold the ranch, either. Maybe because I hadn't gone through so much there.

Thanks for the suggestion, Sky. I'm going to go do that right now!

Well... it really is gone now. It rolled down the street and out of the park, all the while waving to me with it's red prosthetic the trucker gave it and me chasing behind it so I could see it make that last turn out of the park and slip from view.

But I've still got a piece of it for my "treasures" box. It's a piece of stinky, rotten floor with some ugly, avocado green tile still stapled to it. It may be stinky, rotten and ugly, but it just proves that a refuge isn't always a luxury cabin in the woods. It is what I NEEDED at the time. Many lessons on humility, appreciation, thriftiness and the value of "things" were learned in that little tin can. Sometimes a "Little Tin Can" have much more value than a gorgeous, expensive five bedroom house in a beautiful city.

Now it's time to put those lessons to good use and appreciate my much, much newer, pretty, solid mobile home. It's time to move on.

(((((((((((((((((September))))))))))))))))))

Thank you, Kimmy! It's happy time today. My access sidewalk is being poured as I type! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

didn't mean to "scare" you... glad you found something to keep.

(((Tomi))) I am so in awe of you right now. I don't even know what to say and can hardly type thru the tears for you. Happy tears, sad tears, any kind you can think of. How wonderful you have your new place and something to remember the "tin can" remember hon you have alot of people out there and here that love you very much.

there's truth to the old saying..."good things happen to good people...."

LOL Wouldn't it "scare" you if you thought that we think alike??? hehehe

{{{{{Bebop}}}}} Why in "awe," Hun? "Misty" for happy is allowed, though. LOL

Don't have much of a choice but to be happy with my new place because it was possible through the gift that my son gave me of the Tin Can. This is by far more of a house than that one was. So, I don't only have a better place to live, but I've multiplied his investment by quite a bit!

As hard as it is to believe sometimes, there are those other times that yeah, "good things happen to good people." Not braggin' on myself, you understand. LOL As far as I'm concerned, I'm "uptown"!! teehee I's a happy camper now.

Sounds like your son is coming around?He is not so selfish after all?Having your own space that is accommodating your needs makes all the difference.I hope u now know u don't have 2 accommodate the family,they really should look after what u need?

Really like your story like post,u should write?Hope thanks giving's good one.

{{{{{{{{{{{LoneWolf}}}}}}}}}}}} Thank you. It depends on which one of my three sons we're talking about. LOL The youngest is still being a pain in the tush. My oldest is the one that bought me the Tin Can six years ago. The middle one... well? You just don't hear about him very much because he's out of state.

Hubby and I plan to be out of town for Thanksgiving. No muss, no fuss.
