we're camping; isn't this fun?

We moved this week, about fifteen miles away on the other side of town from where we were living. We got rid of tons of stuff (but not nearly enough!), stored lots, and are making do for the next four months until daughter Ginny graduates from high school and gets settled in college. Then what? I'm not going to tell you...

I thought about all those Ingalls and Wilder moves a lot this week. We basically moved "a day's journey away" - measured in pioneer distance - yet we thought nothing of driving across town to deliver One More Load, or running to the new place or the old one just to get something, do something, or see someone. Even my "Little House" stuff wouldn't have fit in a covered wagon; sixteen boxes of LH-related books are sitting in storage right now, waiting for me to rescue them.

Since we're "only camping," I won't be displaying the china shepherdess. But I will be getting back to research and web page tomorrow.
