We Moved Before a Green Corn Moon

It has been ten years since we moved in this house where we are living. We moved before a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse happened on a Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon, and finished everything on a triple 8 date, August 08, 1998.
We also had the usual custom of bringing in salt, rice, cotton, monggo seeds and water with us when we moved in.
We even had a dog with us when we moved.
We did not have moving trucks though these would have been helpful to help us bring whatever we had, though these were very few. We just used the car and an aunt’s AUV/pick-up to bring our things and we had to travel a few times to be able to complete the moving tasks.
The adjustments were very difficult at first because my work was only a few steps away from our place before (in fact I just had to climb two sets of stairs) but we managed to adjust. I am still adjusting, especially during times when I get irritated by neighbors.
So many things have changed since we moved, all for the better, I guess. Our family have grown bigger. My eldest daughter who turned three a few days after we moved is now 13 years old and we now have a 7 year old boy and a 5 year old girl.
The dog has been long gone and we have two other dogs now.
All in all, ten years had been blessed, despite glitches and small inconveniences.
