Well to update you all; while we will always keep ND as our home the farm will play no part in that.
Our "friends" turned out to be bitter, vindictive, and resentful @$$es. Crux of the matter is that we were never able to get a bill of sale and the necessary paperwork for the mobile home, they had lots of ideas about what we "should have done" with the money we spent on the motorhome, and blamed us for every negative thing in their lives over the last year.
Soooooooo - they get to keep the mobile home. It's a piece of crap that we'll never be able to make presentable, or comfortable not to mention safe.
We've found a place to store our stuff - we can even sell stuff from the storage unit and move to a smaller one when needed! This is a good thing. Today we picked up a 5 x 10 trailer to tow behind the motorhome. It will hold all of the stuff that won't fit in the motorhome that we are going to need.
Now it's down to:
1: emptying the big freezer (making venison sausage and smoking my pork jowls included), the side by side, and putting what we can in the little freezer and the fridge in the motorhome.
2: eating, packing, or giving away the food in the pantry.
3: picking what cooking, eating, etc. or packing the things we need to take in the motorhome/trailer and what stuff is going to go into storage or get sold. (Man is this one hard!) And then doing the same thing with everything else!
4: Hauling all the stuff to storage, loading the little trailer, and loading out the motorhome, and heading to the storage unit to spend a few days selling what we plan to sell. Then we hit the road.
Gads - that sounds so simple.
But everything is lining up. I'm so anxious to get on the road! We're considering buying a lot so that we'll have a place to "come home" to. Just have to see how things go.
Our friend Joan is certain that I can get my personal chef business off and running in whatever campground we're in. It's a thought that makes Bob and I smile. But now we have to figure out how much of the food prep stuff to take.
(Oh, while talking to the gal where we bought the trailer Bob told her that the trailer was mainly for my kitchen stuff. She wants me to keep in touch, her Mom has something to do with a restaurant in town that very well might be interested in having me come in once a week or so as a "guest chef" to do different ethnic themes!) Well doesn't that just figure! It's a really really nice restaurant - but she said everyone is just sick of the same menu and would like to see some variety.

You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough! 
What's wrong with those people????? You've got some good options and a great attitude, so I know you and Bob will do great. Sending big hugs of encouragement to you both, and of course you've still got the Pugs and Opie
