Road Trippin'

Only a few weeks left until the auction! July 21st is the revised date for our household auction. Some days I think it can't get here soon enough and other days I'm worried sick that we can never be ready by then!

But we will be ready! Or we'll deal with it as best we can...July 21st it will be! We have the remaining pieces of wood trim cut out; as well as a new laptop table we decided at the last minute to add to the Navigator (Passenger) Seat side of the Cab. We still have to cut out and build the box which will hold our CB and radio as well as our office supplies. But that's the jobs left that we need the woodworking shop to complete. We think we can get them all done this coming week, which will leave the remaining time for clearing junk out of the shop and cleaning up the tools and machinery for the sale.

We have already picked out and paid a deposit on the campsite where we will move when we leave here. Before Mark got called to go back to work, we were planning to try to leave Ohio by the end of August and start our travels early with a trip to Tennessee to visit my family. This plan called for several month-long stops rather than going wherever the spirit took us, but it was necessary because we were planning on traveling on severely limited funds.

Now that Mark is back at work (and hopefully I will be soon), we can stick with our original plan. We will stay in a local campground as long as the work lasts, which should be late autumn. Then we will be able to travel at least until the following May and our resources won't be so seriously limited.

Meanwhile, all we have to do is try to keep our noses to the grindstone in preparing for this sale! This shouldn't be so hard as we are both "chomping at the bit" to get out of here and into our new lifestyle.
