Two full days left then off I go! Today was a chilly, chilly day and tomorrow calls for snow flurries! on the 6th of May! Sahib’s tomato plants are beautiful and ready to plant out but are staying on the sun porch for now rather than frost their little footsies!

Posting a picture of my first GV build in Nicaragua to help warm me up and get me ready to go!

 

Not only are the clothes laid out on the bed, I have been over the list and checked it twice! I also had Sahib look it over, since he often sees what I miss! Rechecked the list and realized we had both missed what we call my “sun shirts” – light cotton, long sleeved shirts worn over anything to protect this former redhead’s tender skin. Now, will it all fit in my suitcase??

Really beginning to get excited: ever since I was a little girl collecting stamps, I have wanted to travel to what was then Ceylon and is now Sri Lanka. One of my daughters has beat me to it, having visited a school friend there. I have given up counting but I think this will be the 66th or 67th country I have visited – and one that I have always wanted to visit!

I am also thinking we have seen our allowed 6 hours of Spring today where the temperature was not the forecast 5 Celsius but rather 16 Celsius and the sun was shining rather than the called-for rain. We have now had a bit of small hail about 4 pm and it has rained since. This leaves me very much looking forward to warmer temperatures.

Because I have only imagination and anticipation of Sri Lanka, I am going to post a favourite picture of a previous GV build in Romania!

Out fearless leader says “use my real  name” so Alan D. you are “it”! Looking forward to seeing you again!
