Moving Day !



Hi All,

We bought this motorhome 15 years ago and have lived in it full-time for 12 years. It has been an extraordinary adventure but it is time to move on.

The IKEA order arrived last Monday and Carl had been assembling furniture since.

The bed with six storage drawers  and headboard came in seven boxes!

The mattress arrived Thursday and we spent Friday afternoon sorting books. Sandy said,"trust me there are three piles, keepers, donations and Carl needs to decide ".

Grilled chicken, baked potato and broccoli was our last dinner in the coach.

We spent this morning packing up final stuff in the coach and Alan, Barbara and her brother Lenny came with Lenny's van to help us move.

This will be the venue for future meals. This was actually taken Wednesday and Carl saw a dolphin swim past shortly after taking this photo 

We are soooooow excited.

Our new snail mail address is:

Sandy & Carl Greenbaum 

9 Haig Pl

Unit 301

Dunedin, FL 34698

Love,

Sandy & Carl

Catching Up



Hi All,

It has been a hectic time following our condo closing. The household goods arrived from MA and we struggled to maneuver the furniture pieces and 70+ boxes to keep them out of the painter's way. 

While waiting for the movers we enjoyed our first sunset from the condo.

Carl noticed a report from NASA regarding this photo from the Martian surface. They are recruiting Wildlife Brigaders for a mission to Mars to protect the bears.

We are now in Red Bay, AL for coach repairs and refurbishment prior to selling it.

It is pretty common for campgrounds to have TeePees for guests without RVs to stay in.

This is the first time we've seen one with water, electric and cable TV service.

Walking back to the coach after getting rid of the trash, Carl photographed our motorhome in the light of a full moon. Only later did we notice Sanibelle on the dashboard visible through the door.

We head home Friday and the first batch if IKEA furniture arrives Monday. We will move in once the bed and dressers are assembled!

Love,

Sandy & Carl

Great News from the Greenbaums!

Hi All,

The painter is almost finished and we are ordering furniture in earnest!

Even better news, we got an excellent report at Moffitt . The liver tumor is shrinking and the blood test that indicates the presence of tumor cells has dropped from 210 to 19. Too soon to see full effect of the procedure but doctor was very happy with the interim test results 😀😀😀😀. Next follow-up in 2 months.

Meanwhile, back in the condo, the stuff we stored in 2010 has been delivered and we are in Triage mode (Keep, Consign, Sell, Donate or Discard ). There's been a lot of,"Why did we keep this?" But plenty of nostalgic,"Gee, I forgot about this!"

If all of the above is not reason enough to smile

Thanks for all of your prayers and virtual hugs.

Love,

Sandy & Carl
