    Just think back to when all this started. You probably thought the day would never get here. Now it is 120 hours and counting! :D


    And Glenda has her own personal computer tech coming in a few days!

    Please don't count too fast! My knees hurt and I'm about ready for bed. We did well at the flea market today and will go again tomorrow. Then, It's get organized so we know what's going onto the truck. The rest can be hauled to the thrift shop or up to Dan's. He's going to inherit some things but we always ask him first. We don't want to load him down with things he doesn't need or want. I will miss him a bunch, I know but he has a family now and knows he's welcome to visit whenever he would like it. We even told him we would have Tim for a couple of weeks in the summer. He's 14 now, a teenager! Yikes! dooley

    You don't have to remind us how soon Friday is coming. A lady at the flea market was selling brown eggs that she collected this morning. Cage free chickens, organic eggs. I love fresh eggs. So, I was calculating how many days left to cook and if I could use a dozen eggs seeing as how I have a dozen store bought eggs left to use. Only 3 cooking days left and one breakfast. I decided not to buy the eggs. But, I was telling dr about them and he decided we needed the fresh gathered eggs more than the store bought eggs and went and purchased a dozen. They are really so much better and she wasn't charging more than store eggs for the difference in taste.
    We are done with the flea market. That leaves getting the truck serviced tomorrow, getting the trash out tomorrow and getting things finished and in boxes. Our landlord thinks he may have a buyer for the house. It is a lady we know. We gave her his phone number and she called and talked with him. I hope it works out for both of them.
    Four days? Are you sure? I'd better go and start putting things in boxes. dooley

    Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday! We load the truck on Friday and it's supposed to rain. It's also supposed to rain on Wednesday and Thursday. That leaves tomorrow to get all the outside stuff finished. I keep thinking we must be about done and then see something else that needs doing. dr and I were both a little under the weather last night and this morning but we are feeling better now. Nerves? Maybe. But, we will leave on Saturday, finished or not. Maybe we will be dragging things along behind the truck that we didn't finish getting into the truck. That would be a sight. I think I need to go to bed. dooley
