Said “farewell” to our Texas family during breakfast at El Bosque this morning.  It was a teary eyed event although we realize that we are not leaving forever, just until November of next year.  We left knowing that our adult children have lots of mom’s to call on should anything go horribly wrong.  Nice knowing that we have so many friends that love us as much as we love them.

Back at the LilyPad, packing, poking, pushing, smooshing and cussing resulted in enough things being secured to be ready to pull in our slides, raise the jacks and set off on our journey come morning.
