Final Days on Royal Tern

 


The last couple weeks before we moved were a bit uncomfortable and hectic. The fact that Shawn was still in recovery from surgery certainly made things more difficult in many respects. As our rental house was going to be quite a bit smaller, we sold lots of things we haven't used in a while, and many pieces of furniture that wouldn't fit.


Unfortunately, one of the pieces that had to go was Millie's favorite chair. Millie liked to squish the cushion on one of our living room chairs and strangely liked to prop her chin right up on the hard wooden back. It gave her a nice view out the front door and also out the back across the pond. After we sold the living room furniture, Millie seemed a bit lost, so we set up one of our dining room chairs in the same spot and she eventually settled in to it. 


Overall, those last days in the old house were strange and awkward. We sold the master bedroom furniture, rug, and decorations so the mattress was on the ground until we moved out.
