So wonderful that you got to meet them. They sound like they are the perfect family to take over your beloved home. What a nice way to complete that chapter of your life!

Things turned out so well, frugal! So glad that you got to meet the new owners and it was wonderful to hear about the enthusiasm with the gardening/plants. And wonderful neighbors as well!

Congrats, frugal! Will be waiting to hear about your next adventures. Moving and starting anew can be very exciting with a positive frame of mind.
Rave for stepping out of comfort zone and just "going for it"....
Long weekend at a sibling's and ended up with two "firsts"...
1)Ziplined - while not a long one, it was great as a first experience. Had to climb a ladder, walk across a wire to get to the launch platform (considered THIS to be the biggest accomplishment - LOL) and then actually step off the platform. It was wonderful!!!! Siblings took video and I was apparently laughing the moment I stepped off to the moment I was unhooked and climbed down the second ladder.
2) Indoor Skydiving - What an experience! Hard to describe, but loved it! Quick lesson on hand signals, three different very short "flights" in the wind tube. Learned turns, forward/backward and instructor lifted to a really decent height - for a beginner. LOL.
Never in my life did I ever think I would experience either one of these things let alone both! I'm still joyous at the memory of the experiences!!! LOL.

We made it! Thankfully our 1700 miles move is over! Almost everything is unloaded with boxes everywhere. Now we can take our time organizing! It was an adventure just getting here. I was worried about DH falling asleep while driving since he did so much heavy manual labor. But no, I was the one .. DH freaked out! I followed his car pulling a trailer. He watched in the rear view mirror as I hit the rumble strip, overcompensated and fought to get the car under control. The people behind me sure gave me a wide berth after that! We did a lot in a short time! I think it is understandable to be exhausted for a while! I have lots to be thankful for!
Awesome happystuff! Never even heard of indoor skydiving!
Congratulations, frugal-one! Although it will be more work, try to enjoy the "settling into home" process.

So glad to have a day off. Been horribly busy at work the last week or so. I’m just staying in. Supposed to be around 90 today. I have a proofreading/editing prophecy for the WI State Office of Historic Preservation that my WI diving instructor works for as a maritime archaeological. It’s on the ghost ports of Kewaunee County on Lake Michigan. These were small commercial ports that came and went with the lumber boom. 300 plus pages, although there are a lot of references and such at the end. I’m at about page 70. It’s due on Friday. I aim to get most of it done today.
Crap! It is that hot in Chicago? we are coming tomorrow to the botanical gardens.
