Countdown: D-Minus-20 to Moving Day! #JustOneParagraph

I still feel like it was a good idea, but it didn't really go as I'd hoped--there was only a very small turnout for my Book Purge Giveaway this weekend, and I have to admit that I was a little disappointed by some no-shows. But with that said, I really do appreciate the few people who did come by and take some books away! Getting to where I live does require deliberate effort--it's really not "on the way" to anywhere for most people I know--so maybe I should have offered more than just free books? In any case, the remaining purge candidates have been donated to charity, and now I need to start packing up the keepers for their long journey to the garage next door, where they will await the arrival of the new bookcases we ordered on Saturday. Tall Paul spent a good chunk of his weekend getting that space in shape, as you can see from this before-and-after collage. The utilities should be turned on today, and once we have power and water, we can start setting up inside the house.
