We Decided to Start our Empty Nest Blog!
Well the house is empty & quiet, no dog running around, and the children have flown off to create their own lives once again. So what better time to try & utilize new technology. Let's see how we do. I was inspired by my nieces blogs and decided "why not give it a whirl".
Roger is really enjoying the quiet of our evenings alone. We are slowly getting things arranged the way we want them in the house. The room Lee and the dog (Arfie) occupied is now the "Red Hat" room. The carpet has been taken out, the hardwood floors exposed, the room completely repainted and new bedding etc. No longer the masculine room it was. The other room that Trinity used is back to another spare bedroom with new bedding in there also.
After watching an episode on "Oprah" (a lady who an awful obsession of horrding) Roger and I decided, now is the time! So slowly, very slowly, we are going through things and "freecycling" what is useful and tossing things that are not. If you have never "freecycled" you should. It keeps useful things out of the landfills and helps people out. Give it a try! I highly recommend it. Go to http://www.freecycle.org/ and find one in your area.
Well today is sunny and warm, however we have had such crazy weather here that it is suppose to be very cold again starting tomorrow. We are anxious to get outside and get the yard in shape also. So, with all we have to do, and our aging bodies, it may take a good while to accomplish it all. But, hey that is ok we have the rest of our lives.
I will close for now and try to update you all on the further "emptying of our nest" as we progress.
