Cross world countdown day 4

 Our last Saturday...

A few items left, completing yesterday's sales.

The landlord arrived unannounced to view our paint job and arrange the key hand over... 

unfortunately right when Aiden and a friend were dismantling and smashing for garbage some shelves in too poor a condition to even give away.

Dad finished another book so we don't have to pack it.

2nd last laundry done - only one load when usually on a Saturday we have 2or 3. (Washer leaves on Monday)

Mom wrestled with Aiden's phone, trying to load some audio or e-books for the journey. She managed only one.

The kids got in perhaps the last swim...

...the pictures don't do it justice: the game is loud, somewhat rough, and often the spray is full waves of water! Aiden 'in heaven' with a full compliment of friends and his sisters!

Mom heard from one of Aiden's friend's mom that he told her we're going to take a train to Hong Kong! Guess we need to go over our plans a bit more (even though it feels like we do so repetitively already!)

We have begun having more unusual meals as we run out of staple things like soy sauce and cooking oil. Everyone wanted more supper this evening and mom could only come up with more of one of the ingredients!

Our house is echoey now... We're all glad we'll be out most of the day tomorrow.
