Blue tape works almost like magic. It indicates the destination of filled boxes!


All boxes were numbered and items placed into each box were listed on a legal pad. I posted about that here. Boxes going into our apartment were marked with Blue tape that was placed under the box number. That way, we can easily see any box without the Blue tape should be kept on the truck to be taken on to the warehouse for storage. Those boxes are filled with items we will not need until we move into our new home.


Boxes filled with items we will need during the next five or six months were marked with Blue tape.
In addition, I wrote the room (office, bedroom, kitchen) where the box should be placed on its top. Note that this box has "Fragile" added to the four sides and top.

You may notice that my home seems empty. That's because we have given away our six-piece sectional sofa and our kitchen table and chairs. Some of our furniture was placed into storage before we listed our house (as suggested by HGTV).

Here's a couple of shots of the kitchen just for BJ. She wanted me to show my kitchen. Here ya go, BJ!

Some boxes were not yet sealed in this picture. The kitchen cabinets are Sanibel maple.

It's easy to see that these boxes dressed in their pretty Blue tape are headed toward our apartment. I'll give you a full report on the movers tomorrow.

Good stuff, that Blue tape.

Happy Father's Day!

I suppose you could say that Adam was the first man who made shopping difficult.

We are in our apartment. With the help of our son, daughter-in-law, and one of our granddaughters (two others were attending a church meeting) we have the apartment looking like our home. Two-thirds of our boxes are being stored in an air-conditioned warehouse until our new home is ready. Most of our furniture is in the apartment. Some we gave away and some is stored in the warehouse.

After church, I am so blessed to celebrate Father's Day with my husband, a wonderful father. Joining us are our two children, their spouses, and all seven grandchildren. Three fathers (Johnny, our son, and our son-in-law) are celebrating Father's Day. In addition, Johnny's birthday (June 17th) is being celebrated. What a special day of celebration!

Spiritual Sundays are hosted by Ginger and Charlotte. To visit other participants, click here.

Pink Saturday - Happy Dance

Beverly at How Sweet the Sound hosts Pink Saturday. Pause at her Place to see Plenty of other Pretty Pink items that Precious Pink Participating People are Presenting for your Pleasure.

Today I'm in the Pink and doing the Happy Dance because the BIG MOVE is over! After over 45 years of living within the same ten mile area, we have moved!



Notice please, that parts of the musical notes are Pink!  No doubt, parts of the alligator's insides are also Pink. (Work with me, people.)

Happy Pink Saturday!
Take a look at my sidebar for the book giveaways.

See you for Blue Monday!

We're On the Road!

We're chugging down the road today, and we should be loading our furniture into our apartment, with the overflow going into a warehouse. I'll visit all who have left comments as soon as I hook up my computer--tonight or tomorrow. 

Don't worry; I'll make sure those truck doors are closed!

Bye-Bye House

Today is the BIG day--closing day on our South Florida home. Off we go on our new adventure! We're moving to the Tampa area--four hours northwest of here.

I promise to respond to each and every comment, but I may need a day or two to get back online.
