Jake had people over for a goodbye party. My daughter's family was here too so there was a lot going on. Monday morning everyone left. Emma to Canada and Brooke and Jake to California. What a change. I was left alone with the dog and two cats.
I took the first day doing nothing. There was a kitchen to clean and a lot of cooking paraphernalia to be cleaned. There was also a short list of things to do left by Brooke. Nothing that couldn't wait until Tuesday. It takes a while to decompress after most week ends. The party was a little surreal for me because my right ear was blocked and everything sounded strange. I hope I didn't make more of a fool of myself than normal.
Tuesday was the big day to tackle the list. It took almost the whole day to clean the kitchen. I had a dentist appointment in the morning. Everything went pretty well and I checked in several times on the GPS Tracker that Jake had installed on my tablet. It was working well but since Jake is driving on all surface roads, it's hard to tell where they are. You just see a map showing their location on county road 53 or 212 as examples. You have to do some detective work to figure out where they are. They have made good progress so far. Today at about noon they were in New Mexico. It's nice to be able to track them. They sent a picture from Columbia, MO. a day or two ago. I'll try to post it here. Brooke is standing in front of her first apartment, where we met, on Chandler Court. The place hasn't changed in all these years. Brooke looks good, too, I think you will agree.
