This is turning into quite a day.  Started by trying to count the tomatoes on one of our plants....too many to count and 100's of blossoms too.  I see lots of dehydrating and making sauces after our trip!

Yesterday Larry bought me a new suitcase.  It is huge!  It has plenty of room for everything I need to take on our trip.  It even holds a jacket, a heavy coat, and a pair of tennis shoes!

We had lunch at my favorite restaurant with my favorite 36 year old son and his family.  It's wonderful to see him now as a grown man, husband, and dad.  It makes me think we might have done alright after all!  Amy is another perfect daughter and the kids?  Brandon, Avery, and Zack are my grandchildren so naturally they are perfect!

This afternoon a full tummy, last minute packing, final plans being made, a soft couch, a big lemonade, and a smile on my face.  Tonight will be the last night in our own bed for a while, probably one of the things I will miss most!  I am excited for tomorrow.  First the office for a few minutes then our grand adventure will begin.
