Goodbyes....

SO difficult...... we had our dearest friends over last night for dinner and then they spent the night. SO wonderful to see them! We drank wine and played a great game of Sorry (why do I always lose that game?????). Lots of laughter and deep, deep friendship......then the morning came..... and we realized we won't see each other for a while. Our goodbyes were tearful and sad.
I have to remember that we'll be back around, that we aren't moving across the nation or anything like that, no one has died...really nothing bad at all....just some space between visits. We have threatened to camp in driveways, at least for a few days or in a nearby campground til they are sick of us (how does a font just suddenly change on you??? Arrgghhh...computers suck!)
Back on topic....I feel better having written this.....we actually will be able to stay longer and see friends and really get caught up on all the stuff, not just the surface stuff!! That's probably better anyway! :0)
Ahead of us lies a HUGE (ok...now this thing is bugging me!! LOL) adventure! To try and keep things easier on ourselves, Alan just bought on eBay a very cool truckers GPS. It lets you know of low overpasses, exits that won't work for a 40' plus the truck turnaround, any dangers for a big rig and that will be us ....BIG!! I can't wait to see it!
Ok, gonna do some packing.....the plan is to have everything we plan to take in the corner of the garage so that when we leave to get the coach (it's in Mesa, Az) Jessi and Matt can be moving in. Our friends, Mark and Char, bought the couch, so they can get it then, too.
We are just waiting for the escrow to close and it is SO hard to not call the realtor every single day! ;0)~ I'm sure he'd just love that....

  1. Gary got the Rand McNally 5" truckers GPS - wonderful 'tool' - still read the signs though!! Don't blindly trust that bridge height just because the GPS said it was OK. Its cool though - once you know your MPG you can input that info as well as how big your tank is and it will let you know how far you can go until you need to refuel too :D
