Checked out but still working:)

Our living room is full of bags of wonderful things for Kino - clothes, toys, electric plugs, books, shoes, borrowed suitcases, a box full of wonderful clothes from my parents. Our world is so full right now it's a bit hard to take in. I'm amazed that folks respond to me that "I'm calm." Well I have to wonder what am I supposed to be like? And Steve? Stressing about how to rebuild the deck at the Inn ... www.glenacresinn.com ...with additives.
I've been pacing since we got home after an "emergency" shower I was given at work today. How sweet everyone was to jump in so quickly and produce not only clothes ( + $ and $ cards!)and a toy from Hannah that I think will make the difference in the 33 hour flight + a 7 hour layover- I hope - it certainly entertained Hans the visiting 5 yr old.

Heart felt thanks for everyone plus the $ to use for current needs.

Anyone want to pack for us? :)

I know your world will never be the same...you already have a rich and full life and I'm sure you can't imagine it getting any richer or fuller...but it will. Maybe your 'calmness' is like the duck...calm and peaceful and gliding along the water while all the while underneath the surface he's paddling like mad!
Just keep taking a step at a time...you will get there and all will be packed and ready to go.
What is the toy?
(uhhh....I gave you 'in country' clothes too! ;)

Yeah, what's the toy???

Janet is right- pack a roll of scotch tape to go along with his backpack of goodies that will get old within the first hour!

Your world can only get better with the addition of Kino! Keys are great entertainment as well..
