Here I am in 2020. Heading into one of the biggest changes in my life. Most of my friends and family know that we have sold our place. Jamie and I are moving onto a whole new chapter in our lives. We will be foot loose and fancy free. We have to move April 30th. But have we got a lot to do before that. We have gathered up so much stuff over 41 years. I mean a really really lot of stuff!!!!!! As we are sorting through everything I can’t believe how much stuff we have accumulated. Then just how much stuff we don’t even use. The hard part is going through everything. We have a loft in our garage and we put things up there when we moved in and there it all stayed. For 20 years. So now we have to go through it all.

The hardest part was all of BJ’s stuff. It all means so much to Jamie and I but really no one else. So that was the first things that I decided to go through. But of course I was a blubbering baby and I just couldn’t go through it. In fact I came into the house and cried and said I will keep it all I am not going through it. Two days later as we were going through other things we decided to try again. This time I opened every box something I have not done since I put it all in there 24 years ago. I emptied everything out of his boxes and folded and placed all the things that meant so much to be back in neatly and ever so carefully to save for another 24 years maybe. I did take some old stuff that was really no good and I paired down about 12 bins to 5. Then I went through the last one all the things from his schooldays. I now have 4 bins of BJ’s things. Jamie and I sat together and went through all this stuff and cried our eyes out as we looked at school pictures and school drawings and things he made for us for Mother’s Day and Fathers Day, then pictures and pictures of him. We cried we laughed and after all was said and done the hardest job of all was done and we could move forward.

We have decided to have a auction so on April 5th we will be holding a auction at our place. Because we have decided to move into our trailer to start we are getting rid of all of our household furniture, most of my kitchen stuff, most of Jamies garage stuff and all the stuff we have in our yard. Also a few vehicles and a holiday trailer. To just say a few things. Believe me there is a lot. I hope everyone will come. I need to get rid of everything. I am downsizing and boy do I mean downsize.

Well we got through the Christmas season. Busy as it was. I had Christmas at my house this year and I was so glad I did because of the sale of our house. It was nice to have it one last time here on the farm. But of course we always seem to take on too much and we decided to have a wedding on the 27th. Our son Mac married his soul mate Jolee. So we now have a new Mrs Kerr in the family. She has brought along 2 more kids too. So the Kerr family has 12 people in it. We are by far the biggest in the family and the craziest. Lol lol 🤗🤗

I do have this very large cabinet in my dining area that displays all the Angels I have collected since BJ passed away. If you are my friend my acquaintance, or family you can expect to be getting a Angel from my cabinet before I sell. Or if you just love Angels as I do please stop by and pick out any Angel from my cabinet to remember me by. I would like to get rid of most of them. I will keep a few because they really just make me happy ….. there is a lot to pick from.

I am very blessed as my health continues to be going well. I am following my hoxsey diet. My Mexico doctors told me I could go on one week and then off one week. I just don’t want to. BUT through Christmas the Wedding, then New Years I did decided to cheat, as it was so hard going out so much to stay on track. I had a couple sauces, some gravy made with white flour and for New Years I had a small drink. It was the weirdest feeling ever. I actually felt sick about cheating. I never had sugar, or tomatoes, or vinegar. All the things that take my body out of alkaline. I was really glad to get back on track, also scared that falling off the diet I could get cancer back. So again I am doing good back on my diet and feeling great.

We have a few very busy weeks ahead of us Jamie and I. He will be going away to work in a few weeks then I will be on my own so I am trying to help him get all the big jobs before he goes. After that I will be doing the house on my own. I am so looking forward to this next chapter. As we downsize and travel around together. No more YARD work, no more WEEDS, no more cutting GRASS. The freedom I will feel. I know I will miss this place too as it always will be my Mom’s place. I think she would be ok with us moving on. ❤️👍🏻

Today’s saying: She took a deep breath and whispered to her soul, “I Got This”.
