Too Much Stuff = Moving Sale

Well, we took the plunge and booked the moving company.  They come between the 19 to 21 of Sept.  That means I have to get busy.  I look around at all the stuff I have accumulated and realize that I need to declutter for a move from one side of Canada to the other. So this weekend was moving sale weekend.  It really feels good to get rid of stuff.  We have too much stuff.  Bright and early Saturday morning we got the tables set up.  Murray is the seller.  He loves chatting with folks and taking their money.....

I just kept packing and bringing more stuff out.  Every time I came out the tables seemed bare and I had more to add.  There was a lot of people who stopped by.  We live along the waterfront walkway, so there is a lot of walking traffic.  Lots of people we know came in to talk and ask questions about our plans.  We had lots of comments but the big one was that folks are sad to hear we are going to leave this community.  We have only been here 4 years, but in that short time have made a lot of friends and have become very involved in the community.  Nakusp is a wonderful town in the Kootenays.  Summer is wonderful.

 When I step out my back door every morning, this is my view.  It is so beautiful.  When the sun is shining on the water, the mountains are majestic and the sky is so blue, it just make me feel great!

I always take the time to appreciate it.  Nakusp is a beautiful village, with so many great people.  It will be hard to leave, but it is a little easier because I know that I will be back on a regular basis.  And for right now, we are only shipping our "Stuff" out.  It is not yet time for us to go out.  So we will get our month holiday in Nova Scotia, then be back at work here for a while. 

Last weekend we went to the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival.  I got to hear my favorite band from Cape Breton.  The Colin Grant Band.  They are awesome.  I got to hear them play this song and was able to cross off "See Colin Grant Band play Mabou Pizza Boy live" off my bucket list.  Thanks guys.  They were great to talk too, and said that they will come and play at Bistro on the Grand when we are open.  I can hardly wait! 

More packing this week, and more selling on the long weekend.  Still following the dream!
