The Big Move!!



The Conant Family prepares to make a big move. After 30 years in Pittsburgh, we're on our way back to New England! First we must move Jeanne in with us, then we'll finish packing the Pittsburgh house and truck everything (ours and Jeanne's) to Boothbay! We are having some difficulty getting Ron to pack. His idea of packing is to rip address labels off old mail and shred the labels. Beyond that he hasn't got a clue! Bag ladies have nothing on him! Whew! (Do you hear a bit of frustration here?)

Hi Steve, actually the book was about surfing beaches around the country. Maine has a small chapter.

Hang in there!! Another few days and you guys will be in Maine!!! Take it one day at a time and you can relax when you get settled in. I for one found myself overjoyed at the fact that I will never again make that long boaring drive to Pittsburgh. It wears on ya after 30 Years. The last thing I have to say is it was Unique to have been there when it all began 30 years ago. I think you have made the right choice. See you in Maine.

Beth,

At least moving into that beautiful house is some consolation for bearing the nightmare of moving. How about a pictorial travelogue of sorts during this process? Just a thought.
