ok, so i am down to the wire- just 24 hours til we have to leave the house, and so much to do.....i have made the appetizer i am taking to a nyeve party, so that is one thing down, i have also bought film, borrowed my mom's camera, taken clothes and stuff to the goodwill, and cleaned out the freezer. i have also figured out my 2nd choice security system for when it is too warm to wear my raincoat with the nifty inside zipper pocket.........

the c-w's had their champagne early- at supper last night- to celebrate the payoff of their mortgage- it will seems strange to no longer have a mortgage payment- but a welcome strangeness.....one of my lottery fantasies involved paying off the house, now i will have to adjust my fantasy somewhat- maybe pay off friend's mortgages as a surprise.....like a modernday robin hood.....ah well, we can do whatever we want in our fantasy lives......
