elbow grease
The Austin house is empty. The moving truck has come and gone; our stuff is already stacked in the hallways and rooms in our Boston house. Two of the three cats are settled after the long plane ride tucked under the seat. All that's left is me, Bicoe, the air mattress and all my tools. There's quite a few holes to patch, paint touch ups, a little grouting and trim work before we can put the house on the market. The last few days have been all about hair in ponytails and sweat equity. (The sweat part comes easy, it's 33 C (92 F) today.)
No turkey for me this weekend. I'm on a steady diet of Vitamin Water
Isn't it a bit early for Thanksgiving? :)

Okay, I apparently have not been reading your blog enough. Last time I talked you, you were keeping the sweet Austin house and not moving to MN.
Now you are off to Boston! Awesome. Good for you!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to you, Ms Caro. Enjoy your time in the hot hot Texas heat saying things like "y'all" and "howdy" with your cute accent before you have to start "pahking ya cah in tha garahge".
You know, I had to add that.

Good luck with the moving, we lived just North of Boston for 2 1/2 years and I loved it there, still support the Red Sox from afar. I love your coin purse and wristlet tutorials, just about to go shopping for zippers.

Happy Thanksgiving! Do you get a make-up day for the missed feast?

Well, I was going to have extra stuffing anyway, so it was no big deal to have it in your name. :)
