Moving Day

"Moving Day," you say? Yes, we are "moving" out this evening for Australia for two weeks, then on to New Zealand for another two weeks. It is now Friday, June 3, 1:50 p.m. Cheryl arrived in Clarkdale this morning at 9:30 a.m. to haul me and my baggage to Phoenix. I am sitting at Cheryl's computer creating this entry and I'm finding myself a bit sleepy. I didn't get to bed until midnight Thursday night and was up at 5:38 a.m. Friday. I learned at 9:00 p.m. Thursday my sister had decided to spend a week in June at my house, so I scrambled to get things ready for her. She and her granddaughter will get to eat the bulk of my now almost-ripe apricots! I hope they have a great time!

I can't wait to get on the plane! Another month with both old and new friends from SCC and seeing the friends we made in both Australia and New Zealand last year (plus getting to be with my daughter for a whole month) is such a wonderful treat! I'm very excited!

I'm going to go take a short nap, while I have the time, and dream of all the folks we are about to see, the beautiful places we will visit and all we hope to learn from the experiencce! See you next time!
