As we head back to Sweden, we have some things will be shipping back home, and some things we are selling.  With a move this far, it is a considerable expense to ship for example our sofa, compared to selling it used and buying a new one back in Sweden.  So, those items that are bulky that we do not really love are going up for sale.

Off those items have gone to the online forums for these things (i.e., facebook), with people coming to our place occasionally to take a piece of our life with them.  And piece by piece, the things are disappearing, and we feel less and less like we are living in a home.  Photos are down from the walls as frames go to others, clothes are moved out of wardrobes, and those items become a memory of the past as we look towards the future.
