The day has come. I leave for Vienna in seven hours. I am finally excited. Usually I plan the vacation....things to do, sights to see, etc. Since Friedl is taking care of everything I haven't had to do any planning, so I haven't gotten excited about the trip. However, today I am really, really excited. Also, I have been so focused on making sure everything is taken care of here at the house (bills paid, laundry done, leaves raked) that my mind has been redirected.
Yesterday Ray's sister Kathleen (from Tennessee) came in. She is going to spend time here with Marguerite. We went to dinner last night at Everyday People Cafe. It was so nice spending time with her. What a sweet woman.
Yesterday I raked leaves. It was the PERFECT day to rake leaves. There was no wind, the temps were in the 60's, and the leaves were perfectly dry. I used my blower and it worked perfectly. I got a lot of leaves collected and put out front to the street. There is still a lot more to do but I got "on top of it" so a big chunk of it is done.
I talked on the phone this morning with my niece Julia. She is such a sweetie! She loves me so much. And I love her too. She is so outgoing...her mother will have to be careful about all the boys who will fall for her. She is going to be a big tease. Some young man is going to be very lucky one day when she says "yes" to his marriage proposal.
I hope to be able to blog when in Europe, but if not...."good bye" for eleven days. - Jimmy
