7 Days and a Wake Up Before HTP and I Fly South for the Winter

With only a week left to actually do things here at The Lake, I've been compiling things in the hallway. Things that need to go to Arizona. I'll start packing my suitcases on Monday.

In the meantime, #1 Son is coming to The Lake this weekend to pick up a few of his things that he doesn't want to keep stored here over the winter. This will be our last chance to see him before he flies down to see us in Arizona for Christmas. I don't think that MC Daughter or D Buddy will be able to come see us this weekend. MC Daughter only just started training for a new job. Oh well...there's always the internet and phone until next spring.
