Abandoned

This is SHE...in the mad throes of final packing. Suess abandoned the last ditch efforts to pack and instead decided to stay by the lake with Grand-HE and SHE and one of his uncles. We had a great visit. Seeing family, Great Grand-SHE turned 80 so all the family was there, and friends. So nice to keep in contact with old high-school friends even if its just once a year or so. We fit in hiking, biking, swimming, water-skiing, a Montreal visit and a lesson on spinning from a very helpful woman at the Old Stone museum in the Northeast Kingdom. Anyway, while Suess stays lounging on the deck receiving treats at every turn, I returned to HE and the eighty-plus degree condo...with the dripping central air conditioner (that I don't dare run anymore and sorry, sorry to the new owner....hopefully it's just condensation from the 90% humidity!) I now have about 20 open boxes and lack the commitment to fill them leaving us sitting in the middle of the rug with nothing to do....but I think the time has arrived. I'm watching the last episode of Northern Exposure that I'll be able to fit in before packing the tv, vcr and dvd player. They'll top off more boxes and then seal and stack. Two more boxes are ready to send media mail and I'll be set to clean tomorrow. Oh joy, my favorite part. We're getting rather antsy...ready to be on the road, away from the heat, humidity, and car alarms:-) Hopefully won't come to regret the lack of heat too soon! Uncle-HE has already hit the road. Suess said his good-byes and is looking forward to receiving alaskan treats from his uncle. He won't be missing the last drive from Connecticut, hope he doesn't mind not getting to say his own goodbyes. I go to knitting at least for a drop in tonight to say more goodbyes. Zarzuela and Nomad are already on their way. HE goes to the German circle tonight to say goodbyes of his own, and I'll try to swing by too. Hopefully we'll be posting together again from the road as we head....North to the Future!
