Milestones

The Bright side of the Barn has hit a few milestones here in 2020. 

We've had Over 20,000 visitors this year.

One post had over 4,000 hits in a single day. And it's still running as most popular.

A bit Ironic, that my birthday and my 200th post should fall on the same day. 

No, I'm not turning 200. Although, there are days that it feels like it's been that long. I have often wondered what it would have been like to live 900, 700 or even 200 years. 


Birthdays.

I always feel older when one of my kids or grandkids have a birthday.

Mine have been difficult most of my life. Hard to celebrate.

However in recent years I've taken a new look at things and they have become more bearable. With each year actually getting a bit better than the previous.

Strangely enough, the more bearable they become the greater they become...

This year. Brand new house. 

20 year dream. 

Another major milestone in life, to finally be home at last! 

Burn the boxes, I'm not moving again.

IT's DONE... At least Part 1

 

Long weekend, yet, it went really fast! 

Once we got the keys, it was like being in a daze.....

Everything is officially out of the 5th wheel and at the house. Yep, the process of moving is done. At least the moving part. Busy weekend and man am I sore! 

6 miles from the barn to my new house. Didn't have to refuel once. 

Fortunately for me, I unpack as I move in, so most of the unpacking is already done as well. We decided since it's a brand new house, we wanted to buy new on a lot of things, so there wasn't as much packing as there was unpacking. 

Living in the 5th wheel, which comes preloaded with furniture. Left me with no furniture to move... Thankfully.

So, we have a big empty livingroom. LOL. 

Which doesn't bother either of us at this moment. There's beds and everything we need in the kitchen.! 

Coffee pot is plugged in and running. 

Now comes all the afterwards work. 

The yuck stuff...

- Cleaning the 5th wheel, and finding a storage, then having it moved. {We've also decided it's for sale, should anyone be interested.}

- Getting the truck moved.

- Finding homes for the chickens and ducks....

Then on to the fun stuff..

- Buying furniture, washer and dryer for sure!!

- Lots of yard work. My favorite part!!!!!


.... At least PART 1 is done, 

so for tonight, we'll rest and absorb in the feeling of completion....

Cozy! Sweet, 
Good night.
