Getting ready to go is a big job, as many of you know. There is packing, re-packing, deciding what to bring, then re-deciding when reality sets in. Liz is a wizard at packing lightly, and I have worked my way up to honored lecturer.
Chili (our 9-year-old chihuahua) was dropped off at Grandma's for her sabbatical. Then there was a dentist visit in Scottsdale.
We spent some time (I cannot adequately describe the experience) at Katie's niche in Scottsdale; it is decorated with color and flair for her upcoming birthday (June 23) -- there is no doubt which one is hers. We will celebrate that day with many of you by lighting a candle at 9 a.m. (AZ time), missing her terribly, and sending prayers and positive thoughts and energy.
A Red Sox game on ESPN, a round of household tasks to get ready to go, some sleep, and away we go early tomorrow morning. First stop: Providence, RI, and a visit with Liz' very ill mom on Friday.
