Moving Out

I chime in on here when big events happen. This happens to be one of them.
We're moving out of New York! It happens tomorrow.
Our new residence is a bit of a distance from here in a small town in Illinois.
Our new home... will be called Windsor Manor.

I'll have to put up pictures when we arrive and then others after we've settled in a bit. It is going to be a big change for us, and I'm quite excited. I understand it is likely only a temporary move until something else comes along, but I'll take it.

If only I could click my heels and have time advance to a week from now when we will have packed everything, driven the 800-900 or so miles, unpacked, entertained family for the holiday weekend and returned the truck. If only!

Also looking forward to 'opening' up the kitchen again. As of Saturday, we shut down the kitchen for cooking and I'm having severe withdrawal. Who would have thought that I would dislike eating out every meal? It has made it easier to make our last rounds to all of our favorites in the area.

It's looking a bit like a storage shed around here with the boxes everywhere and even the table and couch deconstructed for moving. Alas, it should make tomorrow a bit easier as the third floor to main floor moving of all of our possessions accompanied by 90 degree heat should be a pleasant experience... Ha.

Checking out from Astoria NY, it's been, um, Interesting. I'll have to post my New York Time Capsule information sometime this fall.

Bring on the open road, farm stands, bugs and wide open spaces!!!!
