Filled Storage and Empty Condo

Howdy!

Oh my has it been a wild and crazy week! Ok, I'll be honest in that I'm not really sure what day it is. Let's continue with story time anyway.

The Pod left on Wednesday and Saturday, Dad and I pretty much finished filling my storage unit. Oh yes, I couldn't fit all my stuff in the Pod. That sucked but the man and I will return in the Spring to get the last dregs of my stuff.

I will miss some of this stuff but I know where it is!
The condo emptied out after many trips to the dumpster and a very generous donation to Union Gospel Mission. Ranger stayed nearby, watching the man as he cleaned the carpets with Christy's carpet cleaner. Thank you, you two!
Amazingly, Ranger sat on the steps and watched the carpet cleaning instead of her normal running.
Saturday was the send off gathering at Christy's shop, Runaway Art & Craft Studio. It was so awesome! Lots of awesome hugs and I was able to share some of my homeless art supplies with so many great people. I am so thankful I got to see so many before we left town. And the treats that people brought? Oh my! Yum and yum!
Lillian, myself and Dad. Complete with rabbit ears from Christy.
Sunday morning. The day we load it up and head out. We left Salem on a beautiful day. Sunny and warm.
Ranger soaked up sun one more time. I don't blame her!
I had the man take one more picture of Ranger and I in my condo. Of course I had it taken in front of the fabu red dining room wall that Christy painted for me.
Last snuggles in my condo.
Seeing my condo empty was hard for me. Knowing all my stuff was packed in a Pod outside of my reach and stuffed in my PT, I got a little emotional. Here I go on a wild adventure, starting a new life and any other appropriate clever phrase that goes with this. I am so excited, nervous and in love that I can't stand it.
