We have begun

Yesterday was my last day of work and to all of my staff, colleagues and friends at Meriwest. I sincerely thank you for your kind words and good wishes. I already miss you and of course will NEVER forget you.

We sold Kathy’s car today to the mechanic that has serviced it for the past 10 years. The car is 14 years old and still had less than 100,000 miles. Kathy was sad to see her faithful Honda drive away.

Since we have been living in the trailer after selling our house three and half months ago, we have spread out and purchased more things we think we will need on the road. Now, we are feverishly trying to pack everything for our departure on Wednesday.
