House Sold, Moving On
Hello to everyone out there in blogland. I can't believe this blog has had over 14,000 hits! That is fantastic. I just checked the stats for today and there were 15 people checking out the blog, 9 new people and 6 returnees. Unbelieveable!
The big news: my house is sold. Possession date is April 15. I have a lot to do. I decided to travel to Vancouver by train. I don't want to drive all that way by myself. Besides the old Tore-ass might not make it all that way through the mountains. And I can't travel by plane because I'm taking his urn with me. I phoned Air Canada and asked if I could carry it on the plane and they said I could, but they could not guarantee that security wouldn't ask me to open it so they could examine the contents. That would be too horrible to contemplate, so the train was the obvious choice.
I have booked a bedroom on the train for April 11, to arrive in Vancouver April 13. I am really looking forward to the trip. It was in our long term plans to take a train trip from here to Vancouver. We were waiting until we were both 60 because then you get a seniors discount. This is not the way we planned it, but he will be travelling through the Rockies by train with me.
And I have so much to do before I leave. I have to arrange for movers, sell my car, get an auction firm to sell any furniture and household goods that I am not taking, phone up all the companies about my household bills. And I have to see all my friends to say goodbye. I have several lunch dates already.
My condolences to Charlene and family. So sorry to hear of your loss. It's so sad when a young person dies. Glad to hear Lyn is better.
Got to go - lots to plan and do.
