Many Thanks
Just a quick thank you for all the lovely comments and good wishes people have sent about the move. I don't have many more details at this point than I did when I wrote on Monday, but as soon as things start happening I believe they will happen quite rapidly.
To give you an idea of what I'm looking at in the next month... we need to get the house ready to sell (that means finish the bathroom and get the wallpaper hung in the hall) -- then sell it, sell our cars, drive Marty's classic Dodge down to his brother's in Virginia, have a giant tag sale to pare down our belongings, separate the things we are taking from what will go into storage, get Ziggy certified (with a letter in German) to move to Germany, figure out what to do about prescriptions and other medical issues that will be challenging, see as many of our parents as we can, and oh, yeah, find a place to live in Germany.
That was just the big picture list. Every item on it requires quite a lot of doing. But we are going to have help, thanks to the amazing support of friends and family, and of course the relocation package from Marty's company, and I know I'll be able to get everything done. (I say "I," of course, because Marty will be gone in another 2 or 3 weeks.)
I do expect to keep up Raspberry World while I'm over there. I plan to start a new section of the site for my writing and pictures from Germany, but the front page will most likely stay the way it is, with the weblog. But I may pare down some of the other sections, particularly those with lots of graphics, so if you want to save my desktops or anything, now's the time to do it. (I'll give a final warning before anything goes; don't worry.)
