No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

The party is over--well, nearly

This afternoon I opened my e-mail to see a lovely update from my neighbor, the fella stuck with the job of "overseeing" the elevator replacement. While I appreciate greatly the responsibility he's taken on, I feel very badly for him having to deal with us second-story and above folks! According to Jeff, the work should be completed by Tuesday or Wednesday, inspected on Thursday, and fully operational by Friday...I knew it, I just knew it!!! Justin will have to be certain my fridge is amply stocked, and yes, maybe even put some food in there for me. If memory serves there were a couple twelve packs of diet Coke in the fridge when I left...I hope there still are!

Having no elevator might be just what I need to keep me at my computer, getting the FlockTalk ready for press, instead of going around visiting people. Thursday night I am expected to join some friends for dinner at Koko's (I hope they're still open with me being gone so long!!).

Judy J. is collecting me from the airport late Monday night and I'll only carry my smaller bag upstairs so I can get the cheese and such refrigerated as soon as possible. Also bring my toiletries and the things absolutely necessary for overnight, and worry about the large suitcase the next day. I hope my glass pieces make it home okay, or they will end up as "glass pieces"!! Wouldn't that be tragic!?!

My dear friend and massage therapist, Carol, has sent me note, thanking me for referring more of my friends to her; therefore, my next treatment is on the house. Lovely! This is truly something to look forward to!

Well, it's a sad day for me, having to say "farewell" to my loved ones here in Manty. Hugs were shared with both dear pastors after worship and Bible study, plus good wishes "until we meet again". Many of my family went to eat lunch at the China Buffet, including Linda J., Mom's "adopted" daughter. Mom treated us all which was a very nice thing for her to do. Of course, the boys were absolutely adorable, both well behaved in church and the restaurant. I only got to see Noah once, though, but I'll take what I can get. He'll have his fill of me in August when they come down to stay with me. Something else for me to get excited about!

Jill is coming over in a bit to play a game of Scrabble with Mom and me, so this posting will be abbreviated. Sorry 'bout that, but different words are luring me!

Later!
