So, here we are. Packers came yesterday. I am surrounded by boxes. We have said "good-bye for now" to almost everyone. There are scraps of food in the house. I have watered the garden, and packed my bags.
To those of you who didn't even know we were going, or why: here is the scoop: John has been looking for another job for a few years now. I had kinda stopped paying attention to this as it had been a few years and we were still in N.O. But in mid-December he says, "So what do you think about Sweden?". My response was, "Sweden?! What?" So on the 12/20 he Sype interviewed and by 1/2 we were in Lund for his second interview. And so, after months of thinning out all our accumulated treasures (and junk: like the instruction sheet John found from his first job describing how to fill out a dental claim), and sorting what was left, off we go.
Bed linens to wash....

ReplyDeleteI remember you "dividing your possessions" among your children in case of a tragedy many years back. Did you end up having to revise all that? Haha....
