Saying Good Bye

Too many good byes today. I feel for our son and his friends. My heart breaks for the kids. My eyes got moist more than once, and not because of pollen.

Gone

All of our belongings are gone. The movers took away the sea shipment today--we get to see these items in 4 to 6 weeks.

Storage Removal

The packing crew finished packing and loaded up all the belongings that go to storage.

The Packers are Here

The packers (not the Green Bay variety) came by today and packed up the goods for the sea shipment and storage. They did leave the beds and some clothes. The packing gets done on Wednesday and the goods are taken away Thursday.

Lots of Lasts

It is hard to believe we have less than a week left in Houston.  This week may have a few challenges--there will be lots of "lasts."  I have to remember what I told Josh, whenever you move ahead to a new challenge or adventure you always leave someone/something behind.

Last Cutting

I finished my last lawn cutting today. The lawn is getting nice and thick with good color. I can't say I will miss wrestling the mower through the thick St. Augustine grass in those "cool" 90 degree 90% humidity summer mornings.

Tickets Booked

Today I booked the tickets for Josh, Barkley and I to fly to Norway.  We leave Houston on May 5 and arrive in Norway on May 6 with a one hour layover in Frankfurt, Germany.  One more item to check off on my bucket list--fly in a 747.

Speaking of our dear Barkley.  I have been trying to train/prepare him to stay in his small soft shell travel kennel.  Barkley is more than a few fries short of a "Happy Meal" but he has figured out how to get out of his kennel.  Josh and I now call him Houdini.
