Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow...

My departure time is quickly approaching and saying good-bye is hard to do. I will miss my family and friends so much, but I am pleased that I was able to say good-bye in such a memorable way!



MJ and CA had all the family to their house and we had a perfect day together. CA decorated the table with balloons and a colorful "Mexican" theme; the kids played together; the adults visited; and the weather couldn't have been more pleasant.





The grandkids (with the sun in their eyes) wait for me to take the picture before they dig into the food!





Bobbie invited some church friends for a "Margarita and Mojito" party. Such fun! We celebrated my leaving and the birthdays of 2 friends at the party.

Craig, the birthday boy, cracks open the piñata after Jo, the birthday gal, had first swing! When it broke, everyone "played" happy birthday on the kazoos that were inside!

Nibbling on guacamole, arroz con pollo and flan complimented the Margaritas. From the map of Mexico that I brought, everyone learned where Puerto Vallarta is and many promise to visit me while I am there. I hope they keep that promise!

Some of my PEO sisters came to say goodbye at a lovely coffee at Phyllis' home. I appreciate everything that she and Dot (and many others who brought delicious goodies) did to make a delightful morning. Coffee is ready!

My suitcases are practically full, and I still have to pack my clothes! How can I get all my "stuff" down there??!! Does anyone want to volunteer to sit on the suitcase for me in order to get it closed??!!

My next post will probably be from Puerto Vallarta after I get my computer set up down there. If you would like to be notified via email when I write again, just type in your email address over on the left side of this page, where it says "Blogarithm". If not, just check the blog again next week.

Hasta luego.
