Making lists and researching possiblities.

[wayfaringwordhack]

We are 98% sure of our next destination.  If this next posting happens, my husband will start his new job Sept 1, leaving us less than a month at our home in France before moving again.  Two international (or "overseas") moves in the space of a month.  Call us masochists.  I guess.

Anyhow.  In preparation of the next step,* I have started making a packing list.  I have also started researching things like how easy is it to acquire art supplies at the next locale.  And to my great surprise, today I found that something shipped to me here in France cost 24 euro MORE than to our new address.  Color me chuffed.  I won't have to go crazy making sure I have every little thing before we leave.

I also researched taking our cat and found out that she will have to be given a monthly dose of medicine to keep her from contracting a disease from mosquito bites (that should give you a hint as to what kind of climate we will be dealing with).

In other packing and purchasing news, we successfully sold our pottery wheel, electric kiln, and raku kiln in Lebanon (YAY!), as well as lots of J's forging stuff.

* and "final" step, we hope, to retirement for J.

This is exciting but I'm sure isn't easy planning with young ones and pets in tow.

Hmmm?, sounds somewhat tropical.

It is by turns exciting and stress-inducing. 🤪

Tropical for the win. I, as a child, dreamed of running away to the general vicinity, so we will see if, now that I am an adult, it is all it was cracked up to be to my wee self.😄

Heh, we were watching YouTube videos on your possible destination yesterday. :)

Will the humans also have to take medicine against mosquito spread diseases?

I am so excited for you! I will see if I can send you a picture of the kitten I saw yesterday in my current tropical locale ☺️
PS, so good you were able to sell all those heavy duty craft-related items!

I hope your move goes well! :)

Not that I know of, but we do need to get the kids vaccinated against Yellow Fever.

That was one cute kitty.

It is a huge relief to have sold those things. Now for the household/furniture items!

Thank you so much. So much to plan for and do.

So much to consider!
