| I'm thrilled to present to you the freakin' Empty POD! |

Dearest
Readers,
I’ve
done it! Slowly emptied my giant POD of furniture into my little house in
Portland (with help of course).

| The Ark of My Possessions landed in Portland |
My
furniture arrived from Atlanta about two weeks ago in the biggest POD unit
available. It looked like an ark ran aground in the driveway, packed to the yardarms
with at least two of everything in my world. Today the POD man hoisted it up
and took the empty shell away. This is a milestone in my change of place.

For
years I’ve claimed to want to live simply, but this time the rubber hit the
road, and I really did have to downsize from a 960 sq. ft. Georgia condo, to
my lovely 496 sq. ft. tiny house in Portland Oregon–a reconfigured, redesigned
two-car garage adjacent to my daughter Ayla and her partner’s home.
 |
Half-way through moving in, the house is full and the POD is still 1/2 full |
Some
boxes still remain in the house to be unloaded, but I know where things will
go. It’s a bit of a jigsaw puzzle, but I’m relieved and unburdened.
At
some future date more accumulations from my mother’s, and my life will need to
be jettisoned, but I can move around in my house now, do Tai Chi and dance in
the studio, entertain little Henry, (my grandson), Ayla and Joel, and readily
retrieve what I have put away at a moment’s notice.
Creating
my nest and studio space was step one in feeling at home. Check!
