We’re Moving! Time to Pack!
I’ve faced this situation several times in my life. I usually being by collecting some nice, sturdy boxes. Then I find my luggage. Are we moving furniture? Do we need to rent a truck? Hire a moving company? What do we leave behind?
What if your limits for this move was one trunk and one satchel per adult?
What do you think this travel chest, with a slightly rounded top carried on the immigration voyage?
In New Dreams, it would have contained bakery tools in addition to kitchen dishes and implements, garden tools (without wooden handles), linens, books, and family mementos. The adventures were many: carts, sailing ship, steamboat, wagons, perhaps a warehouse, a home (or two or three), perhaps even a steam train in the care of the next generation.
Did your family have a trunk from past generations in the attic?
New Dreams, a romance featuring mid-19th century immigrants is now available.
