The thought of a change involving 20 years totally turns my head inside out. <br /><br />Kudos to you and family for navigating that so successfully! Wish you the making of many precious new memories and happy times in your new home.Nilanjana Bosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08656370320322301943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147719773752098767.post-78784901842452815572018-01-16T08:50:35.360+05:302018-01-16T08:50:35.360+05:30We just packed up a house with 20 years of memorie...We just packed up a house with 20 years of memories. Gave a lot away, put some in storage (eventually to be given away) and moved a few pieces to the new place. I was surprised by the items my sons wanted, and proud that they found solace with some of the older pieces. <br /><br />When you can write about the mundane with such tenderness, well, you shouldn't abandon the subject!Yolanda Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085436784133103221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147719773752098767.post-71755425874899148302018-01-15T09:23:07.663+05:302018-01-15T09:23:07.663+05:30That's a great way to start the New Year!

It is the mundane that keeps us rolling along.
