we looked at each other
and both agreed
its gotta go
as we drive out of our driveway in a few weeks
close our two gates
we will look back over these 10 acres
we will leave it all
there
all we will have left of the place will be our 2 cars
full of what we deemed important
as
we make that journey back to where it all started
forty years ago
i think now about what we did
if one of my kids had done that
i would have told them
you are crazy
my wife she was 8 months pregnant
she had just graduated from college
i had graduated a few months earlier
we had no health insurance
i had no job
but
i knew i wanted to go to medical school
my life long dream
this was my best route to get there
was to make this cross country move back to
where i was born
we loaded up our uhaul truck full of all our
beat up and used furniture
dragging my old ford falcon behind it
having a friend drive our volkswagen bug out to us later
as he made his trek back to his hometown
in the east
now
we are doing it in reverse
our decision to move forty years ago
was
as it turned out to be the correct one
as
i finished a 30 year medical career
my wife she is finishing her teaching career
our kids are raised
we have no debt
now
we will head back west
to the next chapter in our life
this time taking only what we can stuff in our car
as we downsize to a smaller apartment or condo
yep
its all gotta go this weekend
as we do our moving sale
selling everything
that wont go into our cars
yep
all my duct tap stuff
my infamous duct tape chair
all my donald stuff
i didnt realize i had so much
someone a friend came through yesterday and bought some
of the donald stuff
oh yes theres more left
thanks
to all those patients over the years that gave me
all those donald duck gifts
especially from disneyworld and disneyland
from donald duck himself
yes theres more and more stuff left
consider coming by and saying bye this weekend
and
buy something
information will be posted later this week
