Alaska-The Best Laid Plans

Alaska Pointing Sign

Moving Sale-Everything Must Go, I’m moving to Alaska …and that’s how it started out. I dragged everything out of the house, put up signs, called the local radio station (yes, there is local bartering advertising each morning here) and listed it on FB. Within 10 minutes the early birds started arriving, which to be truthful, annoyed me.
note to self: Next time announce “early birds MUST bring donuts and help set up”

I have retold the “I’m Moving to Alaska” story so many times now, I can answer the questions before they are even asked…Do you have family/ friends there? NOPE…know anyone up there? NOPE …Do you have a house? NOPE  a place to rent? NOPE and then the biggest laugh… Have you ever been there? and that would be a big fat NOPE !

I’ve gotten a wide variety of responses to which I sing  ♫♪ tra la la la ♫♪ I’m flying by the seat of my pants. Its where I’ve always wanted to be; its where my soul is, and most have envied me and wished me luck in the adventure.

This ‘sell everything’ plan was going so well, selling, bargaining…but alas I didn’t make it out before winter. So until the snow begins melting in spring…
