Final Goodbye's

Godbye to Fred & Frieda
Gary's study Carlos who Gary feels will soon be a baptized Brother. I think leaving him was the hardest study of all to leave behind.

Perhaps one of the hardest goodbye's so far....this beautiful Spanish Family came to mean a great deal to all of us. They are very poor but came around with Roses for us to say how sorry they were we are leaving!

It's 6 am and I would NEVER normally be up, while my family slept, at this time out of choice. But these pills I am on to keep my panic in check put me to sleep deeply by about 8 pm and each morning I seem to wake up earlier and earlier. This morning it was 5.45 which is just as well I guess as this is the morning we move out of this house and go and stay at Dave's for the last two nights.

Have I mentioned how much I hate pills. These ones by about mid day make me start feeling like I have had one drink too many (and I am having none!) and by early evening I make no sense at all. BUT, they are working and as soon as we are in the US I can start weaning myself off them.....thank goodness.

Yesterday was the weirdest Anniversary we have ever had. You can't buy cards here....and we can't fit anything else in our luggage so we did nothing other than ackowledge that it was a special day. The celebrating we will save for Florida when I can remember it and walk straight. You would have thought that we would have at least gone out for a nice meal, but as a small English group we have a policy of taking out the visiting speaker for pizza with Steve & Debbie and splitting the bill. They usually travel quite a distance. So it was kinda neat to sit there eating out pizza with everyone secretly thinking "what a neat Anniversary meal" Seriously though, when will it ever happen like that again?

So I must be off, my family have woken up and I will go and make coffee and start stripping beds. Then a pill at 8.........:)

Home a little sooner every day!
