Taking a Vacation.......

I'm officially unemployed for a little while and loving the thought of it. Now I can really focus on the things I need to get accomplished the rest of the this month. It's all moving quickly. My DSL is being shut off tomorrow and I'm taking my computer over to my Daughter's and hooking it up for her. I have no idea yet when she'll be online, but hopefully it will be soon so I can talk with Deydra by webcam every other day and keep tabs on how she's doing in school this year. It's great to have messenger sometimes.

There hasn't been a change in my Dad's condition. He seems to be about the same. I'm hoping nothing happens while I'm away in Florida. I just don't want Mom being here alone thinking she has to handle things.

Today and tomorrow I have some detailed things I want to get done with this apartment so that when I return next Monday with Bob, all we'll have to do is load the rental truck. All our planning is now here and it's happening fast. I'm so excited.

My next post will be from Maryland in my new home! I'll stop by and make my visits when I'm back online. Try not to have too much fun this week while I'm gone.

I'll leave you with this little bit of humor ~~~~

TEXAS FARMER:
