Let the packing begin......

 15 days until we leave.  This is a picture of a poinsettia that I bought at Christmas time.  Imagine this - it actually stayed alive and has been growing!  Doesn't happen for me in the Dallas area.  So, this is my first thing to say goodbye to.  I am giving it to Betty today when she leaves my condo for the last time.  Betty is getting married and wanted to take off the last two Wednesdays in the month - so, I will not see Betty probably ever again.

I am giving away all of my plants that I have loved so much for these 3 years.  I have a  fig tree that is in a planter that has the name of Tomas - we named him this after he rolled back and forth on our veranda 2 years ago during the Hurricane Tomas that came through.  And he survived!  No one has claimed him as of yet.

Joesette wants my beautiful variegated plant.  Annette wants my crown of thorns plant.  I have many more to give away.

I'm trying to use up all our food that is in the pantry, freezer and refrigerator - we are starting to eat some weird combinations of food.

I don't know if I have already put this in a blog or not - but, one of my friends told me that I have given her "ex pat fatigue."  It is a problem when you have made friends with someone - only to have them leave you.  Of course, with facebook - it isn't as bad anymore.  I can keep up with friends from all over the world - and I do!

Got to go.  I have lots of packing to do.
