Good luck, Beth! I'm envious: I LOVE the end of things; it gives me a rush of nostalgia, wistfulness, regret coupled with anticipation - a mix that I'm quite addicted to.

Beth, these posts have been wonderful. Wonderful. Thank you.

I can't imagine you would have even considered selling your piano!

Holy Cow! Like Atlas, the big man gets the spot below the piano.

Beth,
Haven't replied for a while, but I've been reading all along. Wishing you the best of luck with the move. So many memories tied up with this, but also the excitement of new beginnings just ahead. I know you'll make the most of it.

:-) You're over the hump! It's downhill from here. In the good sense.
