So, D. has taught for the past three days, and now only has three more days of teaching before he’s officially done working. It’s truly a blessing, as we didn’t expect to have the income. We’re left with things like selling the cars (which has proven difficult, as we packed the title documents), and holding a garage sale. Oh – and borrowing pots, pans, and knives from relatives, as we packed those, too!
Yes, we’re ready to go. T. is wrapping up a manuscript revision before we leave, and D. is contemplating his new camera lenses … and hoping that the one sent for service will return before the train leaves!
So, the Hobbits are still at home … but that home is becoming gradually emptier, cleaner, and less of a Hobbit Hole. We anticipate marvelous pictures, glorious tales of adventure (and, possibly, culture shock and woe). For the moment, though, all is quiet, and the Hobbits are still At Home.

Best of luck folks!
congrats on the new blog…will there be any knitting? good luck on the move to my side of the pond…we’re almost neighbours : )
Neil: Thank you! We surely hope everything turns out well, and we may come visit your great meadow of a lawn at some point!
Diane: Thanks! How can there NOT be knitting, when one is moving to the land where even the COWS are wooly? This blog won’t focus on knitting … but, then again, I’m sure that we’re going to find Glasgow quite a bit cooler than California! I’ll be wearing scarves for the first time in my life, that’s for sure! And we plan to travel all over the isles, so perhaps we’ll run into each other!
these poor Hobbits don’t realize they are soon to be hosting another homeless waif for a few days….
Hope your journey goes well – and once you have your heads straight, it’d be great to meet up for a coffee and chat – I will be bringing my knitting with me, btw ;0)
If you have any hitches when you get here and need some local assisstance, just get in touch and hopefully I’ll be able to help (even if it’s just telling you where there’s a great deli!).
