Down in the single digits

As of tomorrow we are down in the single digits - so much to do, so little time!
Finally the rental agreement for our house is signed and we have our first check in hand. Luis and Luisa, our renters, have been here a couple of times and I feel very confident that things will work out with them just fine. I think the arrangement is almost perfect, they move into our house on the 20th and stay until July 5th, we will return just a few days later. They like to use our housewares so they don't have to buy them and I am grateful that I don't have to pack every last towel, spoon and pan, let alone couches, desks and chairs. Good thing our music system is by Costco, the TV almost obsolete anyway and the art, though original, bought on eBay (my favorite piece, a somewhat abstract Tuscan landscape was a whooping $10).

That leaves just a few things to pack - I thought. I never knew how much underwear I had, and books and art supplies and picture frames and I really don't have very many shoes in the big scheme of things but when put on a pile they kind of add up.

10 more days - Merida we are coming!!
