Holy moly, we are swamped by our full boxes. I hope the U-Haul is big enough. We are probably right in phase, but it feels like it is time to panic. I scheduled regular life during these last 2 weeks coming up. Could be a big mistake.

I'm really sad to be leaving Dad. He's 92 and a half and still going strong. I will be missing some good years with him. Of course, I will return several times a year to see him.

Valori thinks we are almost ahead of the game. Go Val! We are all looking forward to the big drive north. Lucas is planning to help us pack and drive. What a godsend!
