A quick update

As I'm settling into our decision (yes, I am still trying to get a grip on it), things are moving along on the farm.  We've sold 2 goats, all of the butcher-ready rabbits, 1 breeding rabbit, all of our hens, some miscellaneous farm items, the chicken plucker, the apple grinder and press, and all the hay.  Only about a billion other little things to get rid of and we'll be ready...hahaha!  Seems like every time I open a cabinet or walk into a room, I'm faced with the overwhelming task of purging.  I'm trying to toss everything that is junk - those little trinkets and items that you know belong to something but can't remember at the moment exactly what it is ...so you hold on to it thinking you'll remember eventually....  But this only happens one cabinet or drawer at a time so it's not moving along as quickly as I'd like.

Our first destination is Erie, PA - to visit family.  That's about the only decision that is set in stone - well, that and where we'll settle down after our "trip".  We know it will be in Alaska, we just don't know where exactly yet.  Oh, and we know that we want a smaller house.  Actually, what we've been considering isn't even a house at all - we're looking at getting a yurt.  **I invite you to think outside the box and do a quick search on them.  I'll even give you the website that we've been perusing in our spare time - Alaskan Tough Yurts**  Everything in between seems to be up in the air - our current dilemma is whether to purchase our RV here or wait until we get to PA.  There seems to be a better selection here but we'll have more options available to us if we wait.  Ugh! The possibilities are endless....
