April 27, 2014 we placed a for sale by owner sign in the yard. We sold both of our SUVs, our 2002 Honda motorcycle and the motorcycle trailer. After our Estate Sale the end of June we still had a house full of STUFF. We worked long hours through July. Too many car loads to count went to Salvation Army. Sue sold over $700 through Lincoln facebook sites. We wore out a paper shredder. Sue shared a couple car loads of quilting and crafting supplies to friends and the Lincoln Quilters Guild. We finally emptied the house that we designed and built mostly from our own labor.
The first week of August we put the house on the market with a realtor.
October 8, 2014 we closed on the "Sticks & Bricks" and now are REALLY full time. Happy dance!

A friend told us about a book she has in her daycare that is very appropriate to share...
Huff & Puff Have Too Much Stuff by Tish Rabe
Two train engines are pulling lots of stuff and can't get around very well. They end up giving all of the stuff away. The book ends with "So now there goes just Huff & Puff. "We don't need much stuff," said Huff. "We have you & me and that's enough!"
