1 day til departure

 Tues. night when we went to bed, the next day (day before we left) looked doable. We figured we’d be ready to go/have free time in the afternoon.

Were we ever wrong! 

Wednesday morning Sheila, Cem, Sherry, and Mom came to to a little cleaning, finish packing away some of the last things like coffee pot, toaster, etc , disperse the last of the fridge and freezer items, and watch Annslie while Lonnie and I supervised I guess? Don’t remember what we did exactly😅 Cam and Karl came by,the crib was taken down. Vera showed up also to tell us “Bye” since she hadn’t been at our farewell and ended up staying and helping wipe out kitchen cabinets and China cabinet. 

   Mom had Karl’s, Sherry, and us to her place for lunch. Served up leftover tikki Marsala (I think that’s what it’s called😅).. India chicken curry over rice from supper at Sherry’s last night.

  Then Lonnie, Annslie, and I had a couple hrs at home for Annslie to take a nap and Lonnie and I to regroup and get some things figured out.

  At 3:15 I went to get the girls from school, get their current schoolbooks, and tell the teachers “Bye”. The girls Love their teachers and their teachers do such a good job so it was Sad😭

Cem and Jake and Sheila and children came after school to do more cleaning, wiping down walls,etc.

Merle and Bonnie came by to tell us “Bye” also and Bonnie ended up staying and giving the master bathroom a good cleaning. 

Lonnie and I worked on packing the girls current schoolbooks in,etc 

By supper time there was still too many loose ends😫

We went down the road to Jevin and Kaylee’s for a yummy “chicken corn soup” supper with the whole spread 😉 Jaylen and Jacob dined there with us also.

We didn’t stay late and ran by Dad’s to spend a little time and tell him “Bye”. The girls were entertained by 1 of Dad’s cats and the exercise bike😄

We dropped Annslie by Karl’s so she could get a bath and get put to bed. The big girls we dropped off at U. Cams for the night. Then Lonnie and I went back to the house to tie up the loose ends.

Alas! Shortly after we got back to the house the power went out!! So Lonnie went out to the shop for a flashlight plus our phone lights and we plugged on. Making sure all pieces going with us were just a wee shy of 50lbs to be safe. Then writing out address labels for inside and out of the totes with bags of zip ties taped to the inside of the lids for after inspection as advised. We wouldve printed those all out if we’d gotten to it earlier😣 Btw that was 20 labels with a Really long address!!

House #14 Road#8 Block A

Pink City Residential Area 

Kilkhet, K💭???

Dhaka, Bangladesh

The power did eventually come back on in a few hrs and I was able to get the washer and dryer going again, get that folded and packed away.

Anyways, by time we called it quits and headed over to Karl’s for a short night, it was 1:30 am.
