Two friends in their seventies are doing something brave. One is in the process of having her beautiful Indiana house unpacked for moving, leaving behind much that will not fit into her San Antonio condo. It must be incredibly stressful to make the choices, what to do take, what to sell or give away! After it's all done, she will be driving here alone, except for her cat.
Another friend moved to The Netherlands in September. Barbel sold all her furniture, home decor and collections before she left Albuquerque, taking only the basics (clothes and art supplies) to live with the man she loves. She doesn't speak the language--yet--but I predict she will learn it soon. When she moved to America from Germany as a young woman, she didn't know English--but she's very proficient in language and adventuring. She came to Texas with no friends or family; she left with a huge circle of friends in San Antonio, Alpine, and Albuquerque!
And I thought a cross-country trip with a tiny dog, hurting feet and a heavy heart was stressful!
