closer & closer

to our trip.
We worked outside all day to day getting things ready. Teddy is now in his new home over the compost bin, the chickies now have bigger feed and water tins, the garden bed is fixed, the bean bed is ready to receive the germinated bean seed, & the corn patch is ready to have the corn germs put in, too.

The kids came over for a run-through on what they will be doing for us while we are gone and we have made a list of everything we need to buy for the critters, too.

I did get a sad call from the DS, he & MsT won't make it to the #1 GS's graduation. He is interviewing for a job and has to complete some sort of test. Plus they are readying their house to sell, too. I am so disappointed - the #1 will be so let down. His own biological father supposedly doesn't have time to come to his graduation and he lives only 20 miles away!!!!! this will only add to the disappointment.
We shall have to try to make it up the best way we can.
