The emptying of a home

Today some gentle giants came to our house and hauled away a truckload of life.

It's strange walking through the house and seeing all the empty spaces.

RuthAnne's room

Owen's room

the basement

Katy's sewing room shelves (the plastic boxes will be filled with more stuff to move out)

A few days ago I took the bulk of the vinyl over to Stereo Jack's, and my AR turntable to Rockin' Bob's.

The front parlor and dining room are still full of things to give away. 

It's a strange mix of feelings: relief, sadness, excitement that we're getting close to actually moving to the boat -- a swirl.
