Well, wish us luck! My mother passed away in March and my 89 yr old dad finally decided to move to an assisted living facility in town. And he's giving my wife and I his house to live in. We'll be moving to my home town, about 50 miles from here, but here's the hard part! Trying to fit a lot of his furniture that he won't be able to take with all the furniture we have here! Thank goodness we have my daughter's huge garage we can store a lot of ours in! Looking forward, plus NOT looking forward to the move! Know whut I mean, Vern?
