Cleaning out

After 16 years in one spot, you sure accumulate a lot of junk. While we’re finding some fun stuff we misplaced, we’re also finding more stuff we just don’t need. The trash man will be busy this week. I hired James to move most of the furniture and boxes to our storage unit. The heaviest thing in the house is a gun safe that was in our bedroom. He and his buddy Larry and I moved that to the garage yesterday. Now it’s just boxes, tables, couches and chairs. We joked that our Christmas present to each other is getting James to move stuff so we don’t have to. I didn’t want to spend the money on him but we just can’t be down here all the time and he can move stuff out during the week. I did think he had his big U Haul truck which is why I hired him, but yesterday he asked me if I still had my trailer, which I don’t, so now I’ll need to probably rent him a trailer on top of paying him as he says his truck is full of stuff,  hmmm, didn’t see that coming.

I also need to get our ski passes by November 15th as that’s when they stop selling them for the season. Normally I don’t like to mention or dwell on bills in the blog but it’s crunch time and we’re just hanging on.

I guess the people moving into our house came and trick and treated as a family in the neighborhood for Halloween. We also received some mail from Geico addressed to them the other day so hopefully that means they’re really buying the house! They’re supposed to close on their house tomorrow and if that goes well, then there should be no more road blocks, except for us getting everything out of here!

Today we’ll keep working upstairs trying to get that all done so next week we can focus on the main floor. Of course the kids rooms are the biggest obstacle. We’ll be here today until after the Bronco game. I might go down to Uncle Tommy’s to watch it or maybe my Mom’s, if one of them will have me. Meanwhile Lori will keep at it upstairs.

Ty slept with Mom in his bed last night and Jag joined me on the floor in our room. My side was feeling better from when I fell on the ice a week ago but the last two nights has brought it back up.

Aunt Robi, you’re all set for the Bocelli concert on December 2nd. When I get the tickets I’ll call and mail them down to you. Wish we could join you but we have to go to Las Vegas two days later.

Grandma Dixie is coming for Christmas so we need to figure that out (where everyone is staying and when we’ll go to Denver and where we’ll stay there) and then we’re all going to Denver for Thanksgiving. Lori and I want to go to a beach, bad! Our friend in Aspen who has the home in Belieze says it’s open the first three weeks in December and we’d love to go but don’t think we have the time. It sleeps 12 so if we all want to go, post a comment!

Time to run, Go Bronco’s. We’re down next weekend too and I’ll be going to the game and its supposed to snow down here, whoo hoo, I love those games! Take care and God Bless.
