We are quickly ramping up our preparation for our departure to Tegus. Our plan is to take the summer off and travel and visit family during June and July before we leave the country at the end of July. We have to be out of our house by June first and we are spending most of our time doing the odd house repairs and maintenance that we have been neglecting to do. It is sort of funny that we are motivated to do all this work to our house and we are not even going to be living there.
Garage sales are such an amazing event. We had our first one a couple of weeks ago and it was crazy! It seems like the entire community comes out to these events. We figured that our sale was especially good because we are not just selling the stuff we do not want anymore but we are selling cool stuff that still like.
Having a garage sale has reminded us how cluttered our lives had become. For some reason we tend to accumulate stuff in our society, stuff that we don't actually need. Children tend to exaggerate the stuff accumulation. All that stuff creates a clutter problem and the clutter tends to take over. It is nice to get a leg up on all that clutter. I am imagining that our lives in Honduras will be simpler on many levels and hopefully less cluttered!
Next job: Paint the picket fence!
