We made a big step forward on our plans today when we finalized the sale of my car. When we bought my car new 4 years ago, I envisioned that I would own it way into my retirement so it's amusing to realize now how much our plans have changed from four years ago. It's in that time that the dream of our year RV-ing were conceived and now are becoming closer.
Also today, we sold about a dozen pieces of our stoneware dishes to a contact we first made online. This dish set is the set for which we registered 30 years ago when we first got engaged. So far, I've sold about half the set/accessories for about $150. I'm guessing that may already be more than the purchase price when we first bought them. How amazing that the dishes have ended up so timeless....even so, it will be fun to start out with a different set when we settle down from our travels.
As for this site, on Tuesday April 1st, I'll resume posting details of our courtship of 30 years ago as we lead up to our 30th anniversary on April 16th!

Continuing the Saga of our 30 years....
Well, life interrupted our telling of our 30 years ago courtship and now we're less than a month away from our 30th anniversary. In the meantime, we're both retired and in the process of selling our household so we can start RV-ing full-time. I've decided to interweave the two sagas together on this blog.
Here's today's update....
1) Still haven't sold my 2004 Accord which amazes me since it's a loaded car at a great price. Had some "lowballing" looki-loos come look at it today. Uggghh!
2) However, it looks like somebody is going to take our old bedroom set - the whole thing - via freecycle. This furniture orginated as the dark pine cannon waterbed that I bought in about '75. We used it as our bedroom set until we started our bedroom remodel 3 years ago so we got a lot of use and family time out of it over those 30 years. Now, it's out of date and we're happy to give it away.
3) I've got a few items on e-Bay - mostly things that I think would find a wider audience than we would come to a tag sale. My e-Bay seller name is ellynmae.
That's the update for today...
