The Week of Goodbyes and Getting Ready!!

We're getting down to the wire--can't believe one week from tomorrow we'll be winging our way to Chennai, India, and beyond!  We are going to the land that the travel books say of the weather, "hot, hotter, and hottest".  We will be arriving in the "Hottest", so if we can manage that, we can manage anything!  Ron and I were up at 5:00 to work on our lists--they should be getting shorter, but they seem to be lengthening.  Fun time this week with farewells with our friends, including breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.  My pantry and frig are almost cleaned out--we had our last Sunday dinner here yesterday.  We'll miss those...
