Our house in Bellevue isn't quite ready to let us go. We've had a flurry of activity recently getting it fixed up. When it rained so hard last weekend, we discovered that our newly installed drain on our front walkway didn't work so well. Our crew came back to fix it yesterday. Our new deck also has needed some work, so another crew came to repair it. Finally, a fellow is coming to replace some windows with failed seals. Everything seems to be coming together, though, so we should be able to leave in a few days without worry. It helps to have people we trust on call.
Son Phil was here visiting yesterday. I took him to IKEA for a birthday trip. He wanted to get a sofa and bookcase for his new apartment in Bellingham. Our van is gone, so we were limited by what would fit into his VW Golf. We found a small inexpensive sofa that fit into the back of his car perfectly--not an inch to spare. The bookcase also fit. Hurray for IKEA! I guess the packing gods have been on my side recently. I also did a packing trial for our trip with my Prius and found that everything I wanted to take fit in fine. Let's see if it works out that way on departure day.

Ely's birthday was on Saturday. She lives with me so we don't need to add any furniture for her. Even though our children are grown-up, we still get involved. Do you think it is our fault that we don't let go or we are such good parents that we just want to help?
