Getting ready for extended trip!

     

Getting Everything in Order!
I am renting my house to friends for several months while they are building a new home.  This will provide the opportunity to travel "on a shoestring" to Italy and Great Britain.  I plan to do this alone and immerse myself in the culture, read, think, relax, and improve my Italian language skills.  I am looking forward to visiting small villages with train and bus transportation and seeing if I can really get along with much less while enjoying all the blessings of life.

The most beneficial part of this adventure is getting my house ready for someone to live in while I am gone!  I am touching every item I own that is not furniture! Clearing out, cleaning up, and organizing the items that seem to build up and multiply over time.  Did I really need the 7 different type hairbrushes I found?  Goodwill will love me and I will love my house when I return and put back the items I am storing.
