D-day 2 weeks!

It’s really hard to believe we began this process in May.  Tomorrow is the first of August and we are almost ready to hit the road for a year.  I sure vacillated between sadness at putting everything we own in boxes, and liberation from so much “clutter”!  Throughout this whole process, I wondered how much I will put back out when we return.  If you saw “Eagle Huntress”, you may have been impressed with how the whole Mongolian family packs up their Yurt and moves into town for the winter every year.  Maybe why they don’t have so many trappings of “civilization” in their homes!  I have more boxes for the kitchen than I do for the rest of the house.  Hmmm…and I’m not even that great of a cook!

Part way through boxes

We sure will be downsizing as we move into a 27-foot Airstream for a year!  And the hardest part, really, is downsizing: on friends (I will miss you, good buddies!), weaving (my small table loom just isn’t the same), and my music lessons (I promise to practice!).  But Cisco is ready–he keeps peering into the trailer, and I know he remembers good times on the road!

Getting ready to roll again
