Today is THE day

Well, it has finally come, moving day. I am so excited I can't type straight. I keep telling myself that at this time tomorrow we will be in Vermont, at Pacem, my new home.

My next door neighbor, Claire, told Audrey the other day that she (Claire) believes I will be back--to stay. Wishful thinking on her part. She does not like change, poor thing, and fears that the new owners of my place will not be nice, friendly, suitable, whatever. But, she should be more positive, this change will give her something to talk about for days. Of course, I'll call to let her know how the trip went and keep her in the know that way.

We went out to dinner at the Olney Alehouse with Pet and Larry last night. It was fun, they had never met Santiago and hadn't seen Audrey in several years. So, it was a good evening. We talked a bit about Vermont and the move. Pet is planning on visiting in January, again in May, and again in July for the wedding, of course. I hope she likes my new home. She wants to help paint the bedrooms and when Spring comes I'll give her free reign in the gardens. She'll be happy there.

Ms. Lily is still freaked out by all the changes, all the furniture is gone. What is happening? She is sticking close to Mama (me). I think she'll be okay on the trip. I'll keep her in the carrier, with the top open so she can roam if she feels so inclined. I'll have a shirt of mine on the seat next to me, so she can cuddle there and feel more comfortable.

Well, Santiago is up and about, Audrey should be getting up soon. So, I had better get going myself, to do some of those last minute things I need to do, like throw out food that will spoil.

Stay tuned, I will write again tomorrow, when we go out for breakfast and coffee and food. I am sure I'll find an Internet cafe ro some other place that has WiFi.
