It’s packing day! Tomorrow, Chris and Nicole begin their epic move to Idaho.

Baldy In Idaho by Wilson Pollock

While the DH and I are feeling a little frazzled, the younguns seem to be managing with perfect aplomb. They’ve obviously been reading their Seneca:

“The world you see, nature’s greatest and most glorious creation, and the human mind which gazes and wonders at it, and is the most splendid part of it, these are our own everlasting possessions and will remain with us as long as we ourselves remain. So, eager and upright, let us hasten with bold steps wherever circumstances take us, and let us journey through any countries whatever: there can be no place of exile within the world since nothing within the world is alien to men.”

Or perhaps they’re channeling their inner Willie Nelson:

At any rate, we’re staying positive and trusting in the good Lord to bring them safely to their new abode.

The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The sun shall not smite you by day,
nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and for evermore.  (Psalm 121)
