We all were thinking "this is the last time..." statements all day today: Last time biking this road, last time worshipping together with our church, last time down in town, last time seeing these people, last time eating these foods...
Church was good but made bittersweet with all the goodbyes on the way out.
Aiden got in more last time plays and swims with friends all afternoon and evening.
We joined an evening goodbye and hello party with colleagues (three newish families who came in July and us leaving) with food, games, and prayer time. More bittersweet good times. And we also took the opportunity to give away pantry items like spices and other dry goods so now cooking shall be more of a challenge... Unfortunately (or fortunately?) Mom forgot the sauces in the fridge so we still have those to use!
A couple of last loads of laundry and a careful accounting of clothing as tomorrow we loose the washing machine. Along with the realization we hadn't accounted for the bed sheets in all the planning... We'll need them to the very end and yet we still need to wash them and give them away...hmm...
A little bit of packing done.
And ouch, Mom had some nerve pain in her leg last night and today and is walking with a bit of a limp. Maybe we can fit in a physio appointment?
