Moving into an RV means selling lots of stuff. Because we're going full-time, without a house, all the furniture has to go. The trick is timing. You need enough time to get everything sold and still have somewhere to sit.
The bedroom suite went away a couple of weeks ago, the big TV and sofa with it, and the dining room furniture left a couple of days ago. Marv has listed the rest of the chairs so pretty soon we'll be sitting on the floor as well as sleeping on it!
Those of you who have known me a while know that camping is not really my thing, which is why we bought a pretty luxurious RV. So this transition time is difficult. I'm used to having all the normal "stuff" around. Even the kitchen and pantry are looking pretty bare! Every day we pack more and use less. I guess it's good to get used to it.
Several people have called me "brave" for being willing to go along on this adventure. I don't feel brave at all! But I've been following Marv around from church to church for 40 years, so why stop now? He always brings new experiences into my life, broadening my horizons. I kvetch, but it's actually a good balance between us. The RV allows him to be in new places (outside) and lets me be in familiar places (inside).
FYI, for those of you interested in quilting, I have gotten my "stash" down to 7 plastic bins! Plus three or four of finished quilts, of course.
Back to work...
What a sweet post about your balance as a couple! :)
