Let the adventures begin !!!!! So it is official. We are now trailer trash. lol lol As of April 30th 2020 we are no longer home owners ……. and it feels great. We moved our holiday trailer to Stony Plain the middle of April. With the intent that Jamie was going to be working in the area and we would be all set. Wellll of course as always the pipeline has a mind of its own and we are off to Kitimat BC on the 15th of May.

We have settled into trailer life quite well. But really we have spent many a month in this and other trailers over the years. This time the difference is we are packed to the rafters. I have moved things around packed and re-packed cupboards a few hundred times. All in all it finally feels like home. We are both so happy and we feel free and ready to take on the world.

We do have a c-can with all our precious stuff it is about 1/2 full. Jamie would probably say 3/4 full or full full, but really potato pottato. I tried to go through everything with a very open mind, what I really needed, what I really wanted and what I was going to keep. I did some major downsizing I mean M A J O R downsizing. I am proud of myself. Three years ago when I first found out I had cancer I wondered what I was going to do. I knew I had to make some major life decisions. Jamie and I made some together and I made some alone. We both knew we wanted to downsize. I knew I had to get my affairs in order so that Jamie was not left with the monumental job of moving that we actually had. Mission accomplished. We are both happy with the results. I can re-assure job well done.

BUT let me tell you moving from an acreage after 20 years is so BIG. We actually started in January to get things in order. Jamie did lots or organizing outside back then. He started in the shop but of course the pipeline called and off he went. I was left to finish organizing the garage ( took 2 weeks just for that job) then I moved onto the house. That took me much longer, most of February all of March and some of April too. We had decided way back in December that we were going to have an auction. Great idea. (So we thought)We set everything up. People come day of auction bid and buy then take everything home. Waaaalaaa. It sounded so great. But who knew there would be a pandemic called the Coronavirus? Well not us that’s for sure. But here it was anyway. We were right smack in the middle of a pandemic. Then to make matters worse. We hired an auction company who got cold feel and pulled out on us, at the beginning of April. Jamie was still away at this tine and I was left with the pressure to re-book someone else to do our auction. It was a very terrible time in our lives. I was scared of this covidvirus, scared of what to do to find a new auctioneer. It made this crazy long move very very upsetting. I cried for 3 days straight. Then I straightened my crown said a prayer pulled up my pants and I got it done. In the end our new auctioneers were 100 time’s better than the first one. The auction was on-line and went off without a hitch. We made far more money then we even considered we could. We got all moved and we’re out even a couple days earlier than we thought. We also got to meet the new people who bought our place as they had bought a few auction items too. A beautiful young couple with two little girls. It is so nice to see that our place will be used like it should be. The park will be played in the fire pit area will get used again and the home will be full of people. This makes my heart happy❤️

This crazy world we are living in now, is just unbelievable. Who would have ever thought there would be a virus that would not only shut our towns, our cities, our provinces, our country, and our world down ??? That we would all be confined to our homes 24/7. That the most excitement we would have is going to the grocery store, with gloves and masks on ?? Now we just hope that the powerful minds that be can find a vaccine for this terrible virus. And that in the near future we can get back to our “OLD” lives again. I can’t wait. 🤗

So now I am on to our new adventure in Kitimat BC. We are supposed to have a campground right on the coast, right on the water. It all sounds so pretty. But as I know in this pipeline life, not everything is as it seems. I guess I will wait and see when I get there. but I know that “there” is where I want to be. With my Jamie ❤️

Today’s saying : It’s not how BIG the house is, it’s how HAPPY the home is ❤️❤️
