Today the furniture goes...
While I wait for Habitat for Humanity to come truck away the dining table, a book case, two dressers and a couple of little shelves, let's consider what's happening in the rest of the world.
A woman athlete made some waves in the news while I've been watching a few World Cup games. Well, I don't watch sports news most of the time, I admit.

Not my tent, but a reminder of all the people out enjoying wilderness this time of year.
Some of the small things going to the thrift store this week! Of course the watches don't work. And some of these pieces were my mother’s.
Speaking of watches, did you see the new fangled timepiece which uses numbers by name, arranged alphabetically?
This week a man at lunch time asked me the elevation of Durango CO (my soon to be new home) and I just answered "Mt. Mitchell." Thus my recent trip to the 6640 foot peak in North Carolina was to help me acclimate to the higher elevation where I'll soon be living.
When I dare to be powerful – to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid. |

OK before the furniture is picked up a special coffee meeting is scheduled, to meet fellow blogger Mary Moon. Just had to add this bit of earth shattering news...hold onto your hats, big event here!
Things are moving apace.
ReplyDeleteI am somewhat sorry about giving away some of the things I've let go of. But on the other hand, if I trapse something 3/4 of the way across the country, I sure better use it when I get there!!
DeleteLooking serious now.
ReplyDeleteThis very moment I have let go of the furniture that was re-salable at Habitat. They wouldn't take the antique rocker because it has a tear in the upholstery. But I am probably not up to redoing it myself. We shall see if there's room in the truck...
DeleteGreat post, I hope all is going well with the packing and moving.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the beauty around me.
Happy Saturday! Have a great weekend.
Moving right along, you might say. I've a critter or two for tomorrow to share with you.
DeleteGosh, your move is getting nearer. Hope all goes well.
ReplyDeleteAm I completely focused on my belongings and self taking this big leap? Yes indeed. It will be the challenge of the year definitely. Pneumonia, pshaw! I can do anything (well, within reason!)
DeleteRight on, Nikita Gill!
ReplyDeleteA lot happening in your place, Barb. So exciting!
ReplyDelete...Barbara, you shared some lovely things. Nikita Gill is spot on.
ReplyDeleteGreat clock.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the moving.
Susan
The final countdown to an exciting life change. Love the clock, it's unique!
ReplyDeleteWow, it's here. Nearly! Or as my little nephew would say "Leely!"
ReplyDeletePlanning for any new adventure requires much patience and lots of hope. I know you will miss our North Carolina mountains, Barb, but I'm certain you will love discovering the beauty of Colorado's mountains too. I look forward to reading about them in your blog's next chapter.
ReplyDeleteI know you're going to miss walking around that lovely lake. I hope there's a lake or pond or river or stream you can walk around in Durango? I didn't know Habitat for Humanity took give-a-way furniture. I'll have to note that for a future time, perhaps. And you've peaked my curiosity with that alphabetical clock? I'm going to have to check that out. Very strange. The rising smoke cloud reminded me of some of the big wildfires I've been around. Those clouds can sometimes get so high they freeze making them look icy blue on top. Good luck with the move. I wish you all the best in your new 'digs'. :))
