Indiana, here we come!

A lot has happened since my last post. I have officially retired and have sold my house.  I didn't expect the house to sell very quickly since the market has been so weird.   But houses seem to be selling though at much lower prices.   Rather than waiting till later to sell and risk the prices going down even more, decided to put the house on the market.  Better to take the money and run.  I seem to move about every 10 years, and have lived in this house only 7 years, but it's time to move on with my life and let go.  

Escrow is scheduled for next Thursday.   Movers are coming Wednesday and taking my stuff to Mimi's house,  will move into their guest room and store my stuff in their basement until I build my new house.  Will be an adventure, but I still plan to maintain a residence in California, so will not be living full time in Indiana.   

So this Friday morning,  I will take off for a 2100 mile road trip to Indiana.  Meeting Vicki and Jeri at Kaiser So Sac and take I80 all the way to Bristol, Indiana.   Good time for a road trip, gas prices are down, school is back in session, and temperatures lower.  With my GPS, map of the US, and our Quilter's Directory, we are so ready. There are quilt shops all along the route (not that we really need anything, but...) .  

 It's really nice that I will have company along for the trip and we always have fun together.  After seeing Amish country, they will fly back from Chicago to Oakland.   I'm looking forward to our trip and being with the grandkids.  

If I can get internet access on the road, will try to post updates and pictures.
