Countdown

Tomorrow, my friend, Eileen, is taking me to Palm Desert, California for a week of golf and fun in the sun.  (Hopefully, it will be fun, because I have not hit a decent shot since Mike died!  Sometimes I am certain that he has cursed me from the Great Beyond because he is unable to fish anymore!!)

Although I miss living with him so much, it has been a great relief to be out of the townhouse. It must also be a great relief for Gina, as she is much, much calmer!  Certainly, being with Eileen's Yorkie, Rusty, has been a great comfort.  She has known Rusty since she was five weeks old - because Eileen bought Gina as a present for Mike!

So, we will return on Oct.. 23rd, and I will organize everything (which means, of course, putting more clothes in the storage unit - which, by now, is exactly like Fibber McGee's closet!!) and say goodbye to some very, very good friends!

Sunday, our friends from Briar Patch, are having a nice little dinner for me to wish me well in my travels.  They have been wonderful friends (and, no, Bre'r Rabbit won't be there!) and performed absolute miracles when Mike died to pull everything together for a memorial!

There will be other sad farewells and a difficult goodbye, of course, to my friend, Eileen, who has been a wonderful source of support.  She has opened her heart and her home to Gina and me and it will be hard to say good bye.  However, in order to find Ricci,, I must move on. 

So, friends, thanks so much for tuning in and I know if he could, Mike would thank you, too - he was just that kind of guy.  Ricci
