Overcast today but not raining this is "loose ends day"

This morning I awoke at three o’clock and decided it was way too early so I went back to sleep until about 5 AM. I called Nora and she was in the bedroom with the baby and also Jenny. The baby started to cry so Nora told Jenny to feed it... babies generally only cry that they’re hungry or if the messed their britches. After talking to her, I stripped the bed and we made with fresh sheets and pillowcases and put the old ones in the washing machine and turned it on. From there I went down to McDonald’s for coffee. Left McDonald’s at about 8:30 AM and came home. I packed up the big suitcase and I’m working on my carry-on medicines have all been packed as have the accessories for both my camera and the phone. Itinerary and other necessary items are ready to go I finished cleaning the living room and kitchen so that’s all done now. A few last-minute items to put in the suitcase and I am done. I cannot tell you when I might update this blog again it will be after Nora and I arrive in Basud and get settled in. It is a very exciting time.

Overcast but not raining typical winter Saturday...

My little brush clearing escapade yesterday has yielded some rather testy results. Hopefully it will resolve itself in the next day or so. I awoke numerous times during the night for some odd reason. At 5:38 AM I called Nora. I woke her up and only spoke with her for about four minutes as she was pretty groggy. I got dressed and went down to McDonald’s for coffee. I am home now it is about 8:45 AM. I don’t have any particular plans for this day, tomorrow will be the day when I tie up the loose ends and do my final preparations for my trip. It is very exciting and the anticipation is great. Enjoy your Saturday and I will also enjoy mine.

A little bit wet but not a bad day...

I started waking up this morning about 3:30 AM and then about every 45 minutes thereafter waiting for the time to make my goodnight call to Nora in the Philippines. Finally I called her at about 4:50 AM as quickly she answered the phone she asked me to call her back as she was in the middle of taking care of the baby. I said okay. About 5:15 AM I returned her call and the baby was fine and we had a nice conversation for about 15 minutes. She told me that we would chat on the Internet today which is Saturday in the Philippines at our normal time. It will be the last time that we chat on the Internet until I arrive in Manila. Went down to McDonald’s for coffee and then about 8:45 AM I came back home. I moved the Bose to the bedroom and put one of Nora’s pictures on the love seat in its place. I will pick up Maria at 1 PM and bring her here to shore a few things that need to be done just before I return home from the Philippines with Nora. Nothing big, just a few things she needs to see that I will take her home. Well folks, here it is the first day of the new year... let’s hope that the Oregon ducks come home with a smile on their face. Take care and enjoy.
