Currently it is grey. That is now the color of most of our rooms. <br />If you don't have a passport- get one. Getting a new driver's license without one is a major pain (you can no longer just turn in your old one in a new state).<br />We went ahead and bought our house in Delaware before selling our house here. I would be tempted to sell your house even before he retires. Once the interest rates go up I think housing will tank! That means they will be less expensive to you if you can come in with cash. We are aggressively marketing our house-- we live in the country and need for it to go to a good owner- soon. We are planning on taking a loss (we bought at the top - 2005. <br />We are sedating our dogs. We are only doing half the country....<br />That is what we have learned :) AGGGG! Hold on- it is a wild ride!Janettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054888725603183006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-42749644038176414962015-04-08T15:06:21.992-04:002015-04-08T15:06:21.992-04:00I hope your house sells this season so you can mov...I hope your house sells this season so you can move on with your plans. Have you considered scanning the documents you need to keep and putting them into Dropbox or some other cloud based storage? I am going to do that with everything we don't have to produce regularly. Wouldn't dispose of birth certificates, etc. but old tax documents and so on could become electronic.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-47356329922072469482015-04-08T09:50:33.606-04:002015-04-08T09:50:33.606-04:00Moving is really tough.

When I move, I will have to sell or give away even more, since I'm moving from a house to an apartment. The documents are difficult. I've just sorted 5 boxes (of my 25), and found that I really didn't need to save all of it, but at the time I thought those pieces of paper were really important. I'm looking for a shredding service to take the discards, since most of them have credit card numbers, account numbers, and other identity info. Good luck! My advice is take it slow, but set a goal for each day (or week) of getting rid of something.rporter610https://www.blogger.com/profile/04141728407942676984noreply@blogger.com
