Congratulations on...(hug) You have been so busy!!<br /><br />Congratulations on the sale. Bolingbrook is a great place to live, and we have a nice, outdoor stage with lots of community activities. Callum and Isaac would love it.<br /><br />The only drawback is that you have already moved to a new country once before, and I know that learning a new language can be difficult. ;-)Craver Viihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882284402568264182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154204376346679777.post-83300071665131783872010-09-17T02:32:32.034-04:002010-09-17T02:32:32.034-04:00So very pleased to hear your house has sold, I'...So very pleased to hear your house has sold, I'm not sure I would want to move, but think it may happen in the not so distant future!

I expect you'll find, as I did after living in the same house for 37 years, that certain sounds have become such an ingrained part of your subconscious that they are almost part of your physicality. A creak of a stair, a heating system firing up, knobs on radios or TVs, a drawer in the kitchen being opened or shut, and many more, will live with you wherever you go. Such recall is a good thing to have, if a bit melancholy on occasion :-)Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154204376346679777.post-28543925773566122142010-09-07T22:48:48.323-04:002010-09-07T22:48:48.323-04:00What a job this moving must be.

My daughter has been livingwith me since last October, and she is now planning to move up to Virginia where her brother is. I have a tug in my heart to go too, but I have so many ties, having lived in the same city for 65 years...<br /><br />I suppose someday I will, but for now I'm able to go to Virginia to visit whenever I want to. My house is big too, and I think of selling. If I bought something smaller, my taxes would probably be more because there is a cap on taxes when you've been in one place for so long.<br /><br />I guess in a way it is a good thing to sell to be rid of all the "stuff." My daughter is super organized, and she has helped me get rid of some of mine already. There is a lot to do though. I don't want to leave it all for them to do.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269872465115056916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154204376346679777.post-91814572222474147032010-09-04T15:31:57.260-04:002010-09-04T15:31:57.260-04:00Congratulations on selling the house, and good luc...Congratulations on selling the house, and good luck with the house-hunting.<br />You are bound to have mixed emotions after being in the house for 30 years and raising your family there.<br />Sometimes it's good to take stock of your life, then move on to pastures new (speaking from my own experience).<br />You involve your self so much with your local community, that wherever you move to I am sure it won't take long for you to settle in.<br />It's a shame I live too far away to attend your house warming!souscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01237688879618393507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154204376346679777.post-31267595765181027382010-09-04T14:25:52.869-04:002010-09-04T14:25:52.869-04:00The next part of your life will be just as wonderf...The next part of your life will be just as wonderful as those stored memories.
