I loved this article in the times and I think it will make you smile too. I've had such the day but it's coming to an end. I will sleep well.
Since the packers come Tuesday, today Saturday, was the day everyone came to pick up the things they had won on eBay or bought any of the way's I've tried to sell this stuff. Thank the Lord, but it's all sold. It's really amazing, a miracle I feel. Not only are all the dressers & wardrobes gone or going soon, but also the refrigerator (there is a dorm size one still here in the kitchen) the W/D, all but one lamp (in the whole house), the house phone, an entire box of miscellaneous cords, etc. DO NOT WORRY! The espresso maker is sold, but will not be mailed until Tuesday!
And also today there was my last flea market in a town near us. I went for two hours with some girlfriends and got lots of treasure including a fabulous small painted Bavarian trunk. So fun.
Gillian had a sleepover with her best friend last night and is more than a bit sad that they'll not see each other for a long time. We're telling her maybe she can visit Sofie in Denmark when she's older. This is going to be hard for the girls who have so many friends and memories here.
OK - best get to making dinner. I'm still trying to work through the pantry items I can't take home. Tonight I'm going to invent a dish with the can of mussels I have (in some kind of mystery sauce written in French) and a can of artichokes and can of sun dried tomatoes and some pasta. At least I know the wine will be good!

You will be over the hump soon. Hang in there : )
Thanks. I cried at Clarice's kindergarten good bye party this morning. It was so sweet. I've been blessed through this experience more than I could have dreamed. The packers come in the morning at 8 am and I have the work of three woman still to do! Thanks for the word of encouragement. Today one friend gave me a nice bottle of Prosecco and another a box of Lindt chocolates and in my packing found some bubble bath I'd been saving for a special occasion. The first night in the hotel will be that special occasion for all three!
