The times, they are a changin'

The room is starting to look a little different. Not much, at this point, but just enough... Pictures have been packed away. The bookshelf is empty. There are bags of stuff near the door to take to the charity shops. Suitcases line one wall.

I'm a bit sad about leaving. The people at school have been wonderful and I am really going to miss them. They gave me a book of photos from the last two years and on the inside cover it says, "A Little Reminder of your British family."

I'm also a little panicked about all that I have to do before I go. Of course, I'm not actually leaving until mid-August, but I have just a week to get packed and moved out. I don't think it is going to be as easy as it sounds.

The good news is I will be back to drinking [good] coffee on the porch every morning, driving where ever I'd like to go, watching HGTV whenever I feel like it and giving family and friends big hugs in just one month!
