The Grind

One would think that retirement would bring easy days, sleeping in, and just having lots of fun. Well, LOL, that isn't the way it is at the Griffins as we sift through

20 years of stuff in the house and lay in packed boxes for transport to Utah. All the boxes behind Paul contain genealogy, family histories, and valuables that we'll leave at Mike's house. Am I ever glad now that we bought a truck. I figure that we will have worked through the small stuff when 3 times this has been packed and transported up north.

We even had a grarage sale today for a couple of hours until the rising temperatures got to us. In Albuauerque, thrift shop and swap meet vendors in their big trucks and trailors patrol the streets from very early on, looking for deals at garage sales, ignoring the "Garage Sale Closed" sign which we posted while setting up. Othewise, the garage sale was spotty, reflecting the economy, but we made some money by the time we concluded the sale. On Monday, Marolynn will call the ARC people who left a flyer offering to come by and gather up anything we didn't sell.
