Easter Weekend 2009

We are well into our roller coaster ride to our new lives in Doha Qatar. We have decided to put the house up for sale and sell everything. Only our dearest keepsakes, do we intend to keep. By severing all ties we intend to establish our intent to stay abroad. Who knows what the future will bring. We have a 2 year contract but we might stay until we retire.
We are finding this whole experience a nervous act of cleansing. When it comes down to it all our stuff is just that ... stuff. It's been really easy to get rid of boxes of books that have been collecting dust on shelves for months or years.
The house looks good and we hope it sells soon. Every time we stop and look the house over we spend another 40 - 50 $ to "spruce it up " . We are finding it hard to walk away from a home, a neighborhood and a community that we have been a part of for ten years.

Mix of the old and the new

The new family pet..
