The insanity of chaotic life still abounds!!
   I have noticed that hubby is much more at ease with this total uprooting and starting our lives over, 4,600 mile away from what has been home and life for 56 years.     
    This is a good thing and lightens the mental load of worries big time. Many still can't believe we are doing what we are doing....but our dream was to move to Alaska after hubby retired...we're just making it happen sooner than planned!!
    In the midst of this and packing for Alaska we made our annual NHRA race track trip to NJ where I got to meet and hang out with a fellow CityData forum girl who I only knew from online. She turned out to be a very wonderful, vivacious lady and I think we will remain friends. She is planning to come to Alaska some day and we will certainly welcome her to stay with us! We met at 6:30 and ended our get together at 2:45 a.m!! great time, great dinner...let the good times roll!
  I did manage to mail out the 8 packages to Alaska, I probably shipped more stuff than I will need but ya never know. After living in another state for 7 months and between two places I tried to think of everything so I don't do the " oh crapweasle, that's at the other place!"
 
   Shipped out my laptop and parts for the motor home yesterday. 'Lil brother emailed to tell me the carburetor for the motor home hubby ordered arrived...$320 for a carb...thieves they are, but I need it.! Note to self: remember to pack flare wrench in luggage!  Also said he walked the property again and found a moose leg.....bring gun!

   Packing has been interesting to say the least...anything an everything that has to do with working on our floorplans, camera equipment, machete for cutting trails onto the land to see where to clear for the house, to my stainless steel 44 mag V comp, just in case one of the large brown hairy bears thinks I'm his/her next meal.

In exactly 5 days I will be landing in Kenai Alaska an already I am saying "oh crapweasle it's not here, it's there"!! went to double check a list and it is on the laptop I shipped out and I didn't transfer a copy onto this lappy!! ahhhhwwwelll...so be it....life's secret is not to weather the storm but learn to dance in the rain.
