Winding Up or Down?

We have been back in Albuquerque exactly two weeks today, but so much has happened!  We were fortunate enough to sell our house without even having to list it (the neighbors next door wanted to buy it).  So we have been busy DOWNSIZING . . . a lot of items are being donated to Goodwill, Airman's Attic, and a local rescue mission.  Sometimes it's a little overwhelming what we're doing and still have left to do, but it's also an exciting adventure!  We're leaving this Saturday for a rally in the Las Cruces area with the RV Club we joined.  My parents will be meeting us there after wintering in Arizona.  That will be a week to try and cram/rearrange all the items we "can't do without" and see if it fits in the rig.  I'll just be happy to not have to do any serious packing for a few days.  The following week we will head to the Boy Scout camp outside of Santa Fe to donate a lot of tools and equipment for their use.  We'll keep you posted on how we're doing.

Back in Albuquerque

We arrived in Albuquerque on Tuesday to warm, sunny skies!  The trip through Texas was a little dicey - snow mixed with sleet and some ferocious winds -- but we got through it without mishap.  After much discussion, we have decided to go RV full-time and are trying to figure out how to sell our house and all the contents!  Talk about downsizing!  We feel the time is right for us to start this new adventure in our lives.  Fortunately we have been downsizing every time we have moved, so the task isn't too enormous (tongue in cheek on that one).  We'll keep you posted on the details.  Our goal is to be completely foot-loose before we head for our Alaska tour this summer.
