On my way Home

Nothing much left at Mom’s house except the mess, which someone else gets to clean up. The sale was Very successful. Most of the furniture sold on Friday and we dollared them to death on Saturday. There wasn’t enough left to open on Sunday so Auntie Kay and I went to breakfast.

Monday morning, after an oil change for the truck, I picked up the 6×12’ U-Haul trailer. Then with much help loaded what I’m taking to Arizona, some to Mom and some for me.

Tuesday morning I hit the road north through some pretty desolate oil and ranch country. Sure are a lot of fancy gates into these vast landscapes.

Made it 375 miles to a Del Rio, Texas RV Park. Hoping to get to Van Horn today. Takes SO long to get out of Texas.

MWT – The Gift of Memories

Packing has been a long and stressful time for Mom and I interspersed with many stories.

This nursing rocker previously belonged to my Great Aunt Effie. I remember as a child visiting her resort with cabins on a small lake. Her big house had several rocking chairs. The chair had been covered with so many coats of paint that the carving was barely visible. Mom slowly scrapped the multiple layers of paint off the intricate carvings and lattice. She used to be able to do many things, a creative and imaginative womyn. Mom is giving this long time coveted chair to me and it will have a home in my new 5th-wheel. Continuing to bring me memories.

I find out today if the movers are coming Tuesday or Wednesday. Don’t know if I’ll be posting or reading much in the next many days. We fly to Arizona Thursday morning. And I’ll be able to sleep in my own bed that night. Yippee!
