2 to go.....


The best laid plans..Of course I wanted to leave earlier than the 18th of Sept and now I realize we need every single day! The boat is still not finished, I am going to visit my kids in Calif for a "kid-fix" prior to departure, we are having a huge garage sale so we don't have to pack all this stuff (we figure it will pay for a tank of diesel for the trip)still working at Re/Max, attending theatre with our theatre group, attending a good friend's wedding,visting with our friends nightly and waking up in the middle of the night thinking WHAT HAVE WE FORGOTTEN!!!!!
Change is not easy, but it does stretch us as people.

Hi Pamie and Tom,

You are my mind constantly. It sounds like you have had some challenges. I am confident that as you get in the groove, this trip will be fabulous. As I write this message I picture you in your office aboard ... how neat! Hearing the day to day events keeps us connected. The pictures are the best.

Love you,
Jeanne and Bruce
