Sitting Here In Limbo

That SUNNYHILL sign was nailed to the mighty cypress in 1933. It greets you as you drive down our dirt driveway. The name is an appropriate one, because our spot is just past the fog-line, and it's sunny when the nearby village is not. Our place and the surrounding property have been in the landlord's family since well before 1933. One building was originally a redwood shingle mill. I will miss the green meadow behind the cypress tree, and so much more. I will not miss the dank, dark winters in this "fixer-upper" that can't be fixed. The new place is truly a home. We'll all be just fine.

We're wrapping things up, and will be in the new place completely next week. There is an emotional limbo that occurs when one is between homes. We've moved almost everything except the big stuff. The movers will deal with those items.

There may be a lack of blathering here for a bit. Between getting moved and then settled-in, dealing with visiting family members, and working...there may be little time for such frivolity. After almost three years of this blogging stuff, I admit to a certain degree of burnout.

Fear not! The McCain posts will go on. (And on.)

I for one will really miss your regular posts but I definitely understand blog burnout and being busy. Best of luck in your new home and I look forward to your next post, whenever that may be. :-)

ah,yes the limbo of moving from one home to another. Soon you will settle in and be most happy with your grand new digs. As I get older, I get less patient with funky old homes that are called, "fixer uppers." I want to be free of the constant cries from the house, "I need this, I need that!"

I look forward to your post from your new home, and if you need a blogging break, well hell, I'm always in favor of that!! We'll see ya when we see ya, girl.

xxxxoooo

I join everyone hoping your move goes well and that after you take a break from blogging, that you come back refereshed and revigorated.

It's okay to take time away. We'll all be here when you get back. I'm already looking forward to your posts from the new place. Be well, my friend.

We all are facing a degree of burnout and anxiety over a Democratic congress who has let us down, and another war-monger headed to the White House.

Happy moving, Annie! I hope to be doing the same real soon, and my thoughts are with you ~ may all go smoothly and the new place bring you new energy, too.

I'm with you and sending good positive thoughts and vibes. We're moving too, right in the middle of other work and commitments. We'll tell each other all about it when we're done, okay?

Peace to you and yours Annie. Take care and be well.
