Well...

We're getting all packed. Saying some sad good-bye's. Sold all the chickens and most of the rabbits, just taking one litter and the kitties. I think Phoenix is bringing along a load, she's getting quite chubby. I think it's awesome, I love kittens!
We're waiting for the weather to clear, then getting a trailer and packing it, heading out maybe on Tuesday. I'll probably be offline for a week or so while I get everything set up there. I bet that time will fly, though, so much to see and do! I am very excited! I was a little scared. but it's way past time for that!
This weather was supposed to be snow, TG it is just rain! Where we're moving, is not too far from the Great Lakes, about 2 hours N of Green Bay, lots of lakes, rivers, even waterfalls! Abundant wildlife, moose, wolves, bear, raccoons, the lady we're buying from even dais she had a wild ferret come into the house! She said the hummingbirds even would follow her into the house when she would change their nectar!!! How cool is that? And fireflies! I love fireflies! And Northern Lights! Can you tell I'm excited?
Next time I write it will be from our new home :-) Wish us safe travels, ok?

April Fool's day....

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..that characterizes April Fool's day for me. It was on April Fool's day 1997 that I found out that I was pregnant...at 42! I was almost 3 months along, too! So I had no first trimester jitters...by the time I knew about it, it was waaay too late for that. SO I spent the rest of the pregnancy with my hands on my growing tummy, chanting "Happy Baby, Healthy Baby" over and over about a zillion times, each day bringing me closer to the Miracle that is Robbin. He was born full term, BTW...
And then again, it was on April Fool's day, 2004 that I got my diagnosis of MS.
So now I just try to get through the day with no surprises. SO far today...Rob just went out to get Bri to finish fixing up the Van for our move, and a few minutes later there were sirens and ambulances. I am waiting for him to get home and praying for his safety.
I am also waiting for a kindness from a friend. I am still hoping for a positive day with no nasty surprises. I'm sure he'll be ok...he HAS to be...Come on, Rob, come home so I can breathe again.
Ok, he's home. breathe.
