Today was John’s last early morning “mall-walk” for a while. Later, after a decent breakfast we headed out to shop. We visited the bank to supplement our cash for the trip, did some window-shopping at the Mall (including looking at the winning entries, especially quilts, in a recent competition) then we did our big food shop for the trip at Marsh.
After that it was sift, sort, prepare foods for travel, etc and start the final packing of the van. After a lunch break this continued until we were ready for an extended shakedown cruise, to see what traveled as planned & what needed repacking/relocating, as well as check on a very annoying rattle that the van has had for some time. Once we established it was still there Marissa moved into the back & sat on both the chair for a while and then the bench & we determined that the bench was a problem. We stopped, John adjusted the bench just a little bit, and thank goodness that solved the problem.
Final preparations continued, Michelle & Don brought Ziggy over for a last exhausting romp, we had a steak dinner, watered the garden pots & planters for the last time, packed up outside, paid some bills electronically, held down a squirming Zoe for a grooming & toenail trimming, rechecked our lists, and… we’re ready to roll in the morning!
