The wedding was beautiful. The night went long with clean up.
And this morning, everyone flew out to return home.
I remain at my grandmother’s house until tomorrow to get it all cleaned up. I will pick up Addie from the kennel and hit the road tomorrow afternoon to spend one more night at my younger daughter’s place in Atlanta before I began meandering road trip back to Texas.
Today I will rest. And go to my storage unit to pick up the things I need to take back with me…
- Winter clothes or at least something fall-y, Texas doesn’t typically get cold.
- Some books.
- Craft supplies.
I made sure to leave plenty of my car for the return trip to take back some stuff. As of now, I don’t have any plans to return to Georgia, so trying to think future.
After the last week, I need this down day. Desperately.
What’s Next
After I get back to my parents I have one month until Beauty and her husband Redhead arrive for Thanksgiving. During that month, I have one big goal…clean out the “catch all” room. The closet is piled high with boxes full of paperwork and ?? and we’ve just kind of piling things in their that don’t have a home.
The goal is to have the room guest ready before they arrive. Outside of the garage and my mom’s closet, it’s the last space in the house that I have not cleaned out and rearranged.
So for today, I will rest. Retrieve the list of things I’ve compiled from my storage unit. And finish getting ready to head back to Texas tomorrow.
Can’t wait to share the wedding pics…or at least a few of them!
