The final two days for NC this winter.

Monday was a packing day. I cleaned the car and began loading while Evelyn did some cleaning. We began carrying things into the house from the deck and front porch. When we finished, there was no place to really relax. We have more to take back with than I thought we would. I have a list of things to take that I have been making for some time. There are more than 25 entries. We had a large lunch of leftovers because we need to rid ourselves of many things that we can’t leave here. We had walked the lake and thought we had a place for our Mandevilla and diplandina, flowers in our pot. Unfortunately, the person who had agreed to keep them couldn’t. We will look for someone else. We went to the Open Door to cancel our work schedule for Friday. We came home to continue packing and found someone to keep our geraniums. We will also find someone to give our food to. We ate dinner of more leftovers and kept working until bedtime.

I was up at 6:30 but let Evelyn sleep until 8. I learned then that she had been awake until 5:30. I hope we sleep better tonight. We loaded the four geraniums into the car and drove to Eva’s, a German woman we worship with. She was sick with a bad throat so we didn’t stay long. On the way we had stopped to have our blood pressure taken but had also received a call from the Open Door saying they needed workers today. The blood pressure was fine so we went on to serve. We were needed. I tried to get a stamp for a letter I want to mail, but this post office has weird hours. I will have to get one tomorrow. Ours are packed away somewhere. We came home and gave our Mandavilla/diplandina to our neighbor, Diane. We also gave her some food. We then took many other things to Jim and Kathy’s. I also took a beer for us that he didn’t drink because he had started on vodka. We came home and continued to eat the larder down. We will take what is left with us in one of our two coolers. Evelyn mopped the floors and washed out the refrigerator and lazy susans. I had vacuumed yesterday after cleaning the car. I will go to Taco Bell for ice before we leave town. We decided to go through Cherokee and the Great Smokey Mountain National Park on the way to Nashville. I hope we don’t forget anything.
