Happy New Year...

January 1, 2019

I spent most of the morning packing.  I’ve decided to check in my carry-on and a large suitcase, and just carry my back-pack and purse.  So... in the backpack I packed everything that I would be upset if I lost, i.e. computer, iPad,  (you can’t check those things in anyway), dental retainer, contact lenses for 6 months, sunglasses, regular glasses, etc.  Then, the comfort stuff for the plane:  eye patch, ear plugs, socks, fleece jacket, water bottle, Clif bars.  I put half of my credit cards in my wallet, along with my driver’s license, a passport copy, and health insurance card, and the other half in my waist pouch with my other credit card and passport, I was good to go.  

Ken and Bill picked me up from Dona’s, and I said goodbye,once again, to my friend, until we meet again.  It’s likely that I won’t be returning to that house to see her, since she is going to sell it and move into a retirement community.  I’m really going to miss her being my neighbor.  However, I have no doubt we will see each other often when I return to Denver.  Good friends are gold.
