....something wrong here! When a friend arrives just as I'm leaving, I have to wonder about the relationship! But, in this case, there is no need to wonder, all is well. Our friend, Joe, arrived today, to stay at the house while we're gone. We've never thought about a house-sitter before, but this is working out perfectly. Joe has a temporary job in Wilmington, and needed a place to stay. We met on our trip to Vancouver last summer, and told us of the possibility of a temporary job here, at the hospital. So, with such a nice place to live (hehehe!), how could we NOt offer him our place while we're gone. We even overlap at the end of our trip, which will be nice. By the time we get back, he will have figured out the kitchen, and can cook for us. He won't finish recording our music, but has his own mp3 player, and ALL the albums are still here, so there is much music to hear.
Stuart and I spent the day getting the Cottage ready, cleaning and moving in. It's nice to have a calm day to collect ourselves, before hitting the road.
I bought Stuart an early Christmas present, a little mp3 player. I went into the Big Box store to buy a little speaker/charger/dock for the Big mp3 player, and met a woman selling these little things. A Sandisk, the same people who make the little cards that go in our cameras. The idea is to use the little one for audio books, which we can download from our public library. Isn't that just the greatest service? I love it! So, with a $12 purchase of a cassette-gadget-thingy, the new little mp3 player will work in our old truck, so we can listen to audio books while we drive, and never have to pay a late return charge to the library. It also helps, since the big ipod with the music is synced to the desktop computer at home, making it difficult to use it with two computers for two different types of files. Oh, the frustrations of technology!
We hit the road tomorrow morning, and may head towards Charleston, and James Island Park. Hey, we're not going to us a map for this trip!
