Takeoff Day is almost upon us. Randy is well into his last day of work before his sabbatical, as I load up the RV for our departure tomorrow. It's been so long in coming, it's really hard to believe we're leaving home once again until autumn is upon us. Thank goodness our house-sitters will be continuing to stay here as we travel across the country TWICE, once back & forth to Indiana, and again back & forth to Texas.
I've been home almost a month after being in Oregon for two years, doing lots of yard work & sprucing up around the place. Randy flew into the Bay area yesterday morning after commuting back & forth that same month. We gave up our little 2-bedroom apartment in Orenco Station with a little sigh, but not too big a one, as it was very dark (all windows facing north) and had poor sound isolation from our neighbors. The tougher thing to leave was our garden plot at the nearby community gardens, that was just beginning to produce some lovely tomatoes and squash, with lots of promise of peppers soon to come. But we are looking forward to some fresh Hoosier produce next week, especially the tomatoes and corn.
It hardly needs to be said, but we're most looking forward to seeing our family and dear friends again on this trip. It's been four long years since our last visit, after years of going almost every year. We have great-nieces and nephews we haven't even met yet! With the back-to-back Singapore and Oregon assignments, we just couldn't make it back before now. All I can say is "Look out, America! The Mulls are hitting the highway again."
