Time is getting so short – just 8 weeks now – that we have started lining up our “farewell tour,” the series of goodbye parties with close friends and relatives. My sister-in-law has taken care of the family part of the tour (or at least Jett’s family) by arranging a combo birthday/goodbye event for Saturday, Septermber 15. This is the day we leave the campground in NH, but our first stop will be near their house, so it works out well. As for my family, I am trying to arrange a weekend when my two brothers can come to visit. We also hope to see a couple of close friends on weekends between now and September 15. My older son and his family will visit one weekend. As only 7 weekends remain (not counting the 15th) and one weekend is out (both Jett and I will be away one weekend in August), the number of goodbye events is getting pretty close to the number of weekends.
Our farewell dance card is going to be full.
