It’s Sunday and only 3 days left. We are feeling a bit guilty for cancelling our Chicago show since the evil heat they promised never materialized up there. Oh well—we thought we made the best decision at the time. And it has made this last weekend home easier.
Preparations are moving along. My biggest concern is getting one of my tomatoes to ripen so I can pick it and at least eat one of them. My garden looks great and the irony is that I will be gone during 90% of the harvest. We got some big ones growing but it looks like I’ll miss out. Oh well—others are waiting in the wings to nab everything. And knowing our friends, they will take great pleasure telling me how good it all was…
Starting to load the refrigerator in the trailer and pack our clothes. We are also taking a craft box, fishing poles, of course Stacy’s banjo and some other musical instruments, some games, and reading to catch up on. With all our supplies, extras, show stuff & inventory we are a packed group. It’s so nice to have a big ass truck…
Before we leave we still have 5 big wholesale orders to finish and pack up and we are still doing beneficiary work on everything we own with title or deed. Although I personally don’t think we will be eaten by bears, we did learn a lot through mom’s death and decided it was time to get everything in order—just in case the bears win.
We also have a pretty intense social schedule for the remaining 3 days. (Did go to “Mama Mia” matinee yesterday—it was excellent and highly recommend.) And then it’s gathering with friends for the rest of the evening’s home. Stacy’s dad is sneaking up for one last visit Monday. That is the main down side of this whole operation, leaving Stacy’s dad. She calls him every night and usually sees him once a week so if phone service gets sketchy that will be hard on Stacy. But they both realize the situation so they’ll get through it. He’s definitely all for us going and promises to stay well—and we do know by now time flies.
Realize this is a bit boring but let's face it--even J&S have to deal with the mundane day to day stuff. But once we are on the road...
