Ready Or Not!

  Ready or not, Sunday is the day, and I am in full “swivit.”  As glad as I am that Del is going to realize his long time dream of living abroad for a time, and as much as I know I will enjoy learning so many exciting things from the experiences we will have and the people we will meet, this is going to be hard.   It probably would have been easier if we were still in Ohio, but having lived near Rosa, and David and Tracy, of course, for nearly a year has spoiled me.  In over 42 years of marriage, 4 hour's drive is the closest we have lived to family – except for the year Del was in Vietnam, and that doesn’t count.  Until we moved here, we had  never been able to  have dinner with  any of our family  and then everyone go home to sleep in their own beds.  It has been so nice.

I think I am pretty much packed, but Del still has a way to go.   I’ll finish the last minute laundry tonight, and tomorrow we will attempt to get this house in some semblance of order.  Bless our hearts.

 The workmen finished the last thing on our list and left about 6:30 tonight.  They did a great job, and it is so nice to have so many things done, even though it was a bit stressful having people in the house while trying to get my ducks in a row, or more accurately, finding my ducks so I could put them in a row.  When you come to visit, the door bell will work, the lights in the second guest room will work even if the hall light is not on, there is a rail all the way down the steps, you can use the ceiling fan in the first guest room without sleeping with a ceiling light on, etc.

By the way, I have meant to ask you to forgive my punctuation/spelling failures.  I have forgotten what I once knew about the paragraph, I never understood the semi colon, I can't type worth a darn, and my spelling is getting worse by the day.  It is a great disappointment that spell check just does not care about some things,  which explains why I once almost sent a report to a doctor that explained that my student demonstrated frequent bowel substitutions.  (vowel)

Please say it with me, we will make it, we will make it, we will make it.
