Contrary to appearances, I have not gone poof into the blogosphere.
The edited version . . . we put our house on the market in May, feeling like we had missed the window for selling it this spring, but nothing to lose. It sold in five days! Within 10 days we had found the house we wanted. And now six weeks to the day after it was listed, we will have sold a house in one Texas city, bought one—that needs renovation—in another Texas city; packed up and moved 200+ miles.
Just to make it interesting, John still has eight weeks before retirement in City # 1; my mom will be moving at the end of July to City # 2; and we had planned a short “girls vacation” in June since nothing would be happening that soon.
Did I mention that the house we bought needs “updating”? As in the original 1981 kitchen, complete with blue-and-pink wallpaper, needs to go?
All I can say is that it has been chaos. I will be back to posting in mid-July and post the last three menus. Maybe I’ll do a series on Healthy Eating When You Have No Kitchen. I’ve definitely got the Really Quick thing down. Just a thought.
Take care . . .

Congratulations on the house. We just sold ours in less than 2 months and would love some eating on the move type ideas. Finding pots and pans to stir fry or even the olive oil is a challenge. Funny how when you pack and label you think you will remember what the word “kitchen” on the box will reference too. But whether its 20 or 200 miles its always a surprise what appears when you start unpacking. I was so surprised to find your cookbook ready to go in one of the first boxes I opened. So ready or not its back to a routine.
Thanks for all you do,
Good luck with your new home,
Blessings
