Che Emozione!

what an exciting time--- we are in the mids of packing, selling, wrapping, sorting, e-baying, garage-selling and the days have not enough hours. we have a ticket to europe, actually to frankfurt, so we can buy a car with my german insurance and points... will see how that will be solved.
i will get some pictures for this event here soon, just another box....
ok here is the pick-up that got sold in 4 hours. i can only say "craigslist", very good for cars, boats and $20 washing machines, but not for real art and high end music equipment. but we are almost without a vehicle. my little loved blue honda is going to a nice young man who wears his cap backsidefront and who let us have it for 1 more week.- after the BIG MOVE of the stuff into the 40 feet container and sending it on the way to the ship -- we will than get a rental car and drive up to minnesota visiting Jon's dad and sister. than for sure we need some relaxing time. just look at this turtle that layed her eggs right on the edge of our gravel-road, she was very concentrated with her duty and did not get upset with us watching her, that is the state of mind i would like to reach.

but ... we still try to get up at sunrise and stop working at sunset, or as long as we can see something... eating a bit and fall in bed. and that is what i do now.

S O L D ! !

how wonderful,- we found the right people for our sweet little house. a young couple who were searching for a place with enough ground to grow their organic veggies and been sheltered by big trees, close to woods and nature. they just got married and wanna start their live together connected with the environment. i am so glad my loved big trees are not a nuisance to the new owner and have to be cut down, like the one huge maple i nursed at my 1st place in usa. the buyer cut it down and moved away after 2 years. now we will have even more big trees in italy. and i am in the total packing war. boxes, labels, bubble-wrap everywhere and still no end in sight. i am soooo slow. but it looks like we will leave this place at the end of june. travel through the country say goodbye to all and huiiiiiiiii....

but before that- i still have to get rid of some loved pieces: i do not want to wrap that pretty devil again to take it with me. i have him now for 20 years or more and he got me through all the angel photography and all the too holy times. but i can separate now from him and he got really appreciated in price he sells now for $2000. of course i will sell him for much less....
