Yesterday our moving company (Bekins) sent a crew over to “prep” for our move. And to pack our kitchen. I decided it would be best to leave our breakables (all those egg dishes) to the professionals. And man alive, THEY WERE AMAZING.
Silly me. I thought they would only pack up dishes. No. They wrapped every single can of beans and tomato sauce individually. I had no idea.
These guys had some mean packing skills.
In the past few days, I’ve packed most everything else. The house echoes the emptiness.
Our truck did a drive by yesterday to make sure it could clear the thick canopy of Live Oaks shading Worth Street. Thankfully, it did. And the truck is my favorite color, so there’s that. (It’s the little things.)
This morning our house is a maze of boxes. The guys and the truck will be back soon to load everything. What a strange feeling. Strange yet exciting.
I’ll see you on the other side. The Arkansas side, that is!

Just keep out of their way, they are super efficient loading too! I totally get your excitement and am happy for you!
Thanks Debby!
The house still looks terrific, boxes and all! Say good bye to it for us…
I will! You’ll have to come visit us in Fayetteville, Betsy.
Love you sharing your life with us!!! Blessings on this move and enjoy all that it entails – new beginnings!!!
Thank you for following along:)
Loved your Moving Day selfie! Hope the rest of the move goes well.
On to your next adventure!
Love the moving pictures!
Meet you in Arkansas!
Deal.
You’re lucky they’re packing your food! The company I used refused outright to pack any of my food. Of course, that didn’t stop them from packing a bear of honey and a sack of potatoes before deciding this.
The honey broke all over everything else in that box (luckily all dishes and such). The potatoes . . . well. Let’s just say that you shouldn’t leave any boxes unpacked for, say, four months. Just in case.
Oh my goodness Gary!
They only packed canned goods and unopened items. So nothing like half used honey bears or flour. No potatoes either. At least I don’t think so…
Happy trails! Hope to see you soon!
I know this is bittersweet because of they way you love that house. But we are all so happy that you are coming home to Arkansas!
Yes Dorothy, but the more we move from the house, the less it feels like our house. Our new (old) house will feel like home in no time. At least I hope so!
Wow what a lot of changes since I last stopped by. I guess if i ever get to Arkansas i will stop by there now instead of Texas. We are hoping to move one day too, but we are going to stay in our home town in upstate SC. We just want to buy some acres and a small house.
Yes come see me Mary. SC sounds like a place to stay:)
I was gone most of the day and came home to see the Big Green Egg sitting by the moving truck and got very, very teary. Worth Street won’t be the same without you two. I’m so sorry I didn’t get a chance to give you both a hug before you left! Many blessings and wonderful adventures in Arkansas; they’re lucky to have you!!
And for what it’s worth my musical paring for you is Imagine Dragons’
