A Pause for Persimmons

Moving to Texas: Part One

After several weeks of packing; three days of loading, re-loading, and taking stuff to storage; three days of cleaning the emptying house; 4 days of driving, one morning of unloading, and two weeks (or more?) of unpacking I think it's safe to say that the dust from our move is beginning to settle.

I have neither the skill nor the time to write an entire history of these past few weeks, but I can focus on a few highlights which must not be forgotten.
