Mark and I are getting our apartment ready for someone else to move in. It's harder than you might think. In the five years that I've lived in the apartment, I've accumulated a lot of "stuff". Thankfully we only have to move our personal things out from the bedroom. Everything else will stay as it is until we return.
We're also both a bit sentimental about our home. We had our last leisurely breakfast this morning. Mark leaves for Toronto on Saturday, so this is the last time we'll sit in our dining room enjoying coffee from our espresso maker and Montreal bagels from the market.
Today is also the day that Spunky leaves home and the espresso maker - his favourite roost in the apartment. I hope that he gets along okay with Mike. He's a brave man. No one else would take Spunky, so we're thankful Mike agreed to be the foster parent while we're away. If it doesn't go well, we're in trouble.
It's New Year's day. 2007 has begun.

My friend Rita is from Ghana and has invited me a number of times to come with her when she goes home to visit. I think I will take her up on it the next time he goes....hope it's soon.
I want to wish you both a safe trip and a wonderful experience to be forever remembered. Take care & God bless.....judy mcnab
