I have lots of "should-be-doings"



It's been awhile between posts,


while I haven't been blogging I have been getting a house ready to sell. We are moving from Daphne to Dartmouth, Massachusetts, that's about an hour south of Boston, the great cold north of New England.
 Most of the years we have lived in America has been spent in the South and I have always thought I would like the experience of another way of life in America. The North and New England has always interested me, so I am excited about the move.
Of course moving is not easy, it never is, there are going to be a lot issues, a lot of complications, and some culture shock to go along with the excitement.


The timing couldn't be worse for James, it is his senior year in high school...a lot of drama is involved with that....friends and academic courses, are concerns.
It has been less than a year since we relocated Franks mom here from her home of 40 years in North Carolina, we won't be leaving her here, so she is having to face yet another move.
Christopher only recently found a job after looking for too long and needs to stay,  now he has to move out and pay some real rent.

I have been warned about the northerners, that they are not as friendly nor as laid back as those in the south. The pace of life is much more intense, and not a lot of room is made for new comers -  I have also been told that being a kiwi I would get along with all types, so there is a challenge there for me.

The next few months I will blog about the move, the adventure ahead!! which a dear friend said will sound like a reality show..and with bits here and there of other things....like some more Ireland.
