Gettin' ready!

We have been so busy this week. Monday and Tuesday we had dinner with friends, Wednesday we went to a Baylor Lady Bears basketball game and yesterday the Industrial Engineering department had a retirement party for me. It was really nice, everyone enjoyed dinner and we had a good time visiting. I even got cards and gifts!
At work Thursday, my friend Kitty had a lunch time going away party for me. We had sandwiches, chips and cake. My dad, Harold, Ann (our daughter, age 28) and our 5-year old grandson Joshua all came.
Today Harold continued packing, including putting most of the stuff in the car, I spent the afternoon running around with Ann trying to get her car insurance ad registration all up to date. She and Joshua will be heading to Tyler as soon as that is ready.
Well, I can't believe that tomorrow is the big day. It seemed so far off when we made the plan to spend the winter in Puerto Vallarta and now it is here! We better finish getting ready.

Planning

We have been planning the move, even this 3-month trial run, for so long it's hard to believe that we leave on Saturday! We've been arranging and rearranging the many things we plan on stuffing in the car and in the car-top carrier. With any luck, there will be room for the dogs us and our clothes!

We will pack the car on Friday, button up everything here at the house, and spend the night at my parents' house. Saturday morning, Mom and Dad will feed us breakfast and send us off into the great unknown!
