One month from today I will be on my way to Accra, Ghana. Any day now I should be getting my information to book my flight to staging, PA or WA.
I have been enjoying time with Jack, my sister Tish and brother in law John. We are in the mts. Saying goodbye to our friends up here. The weather has been wonderful and I am sure I won’t see this cool weather again for 2+ years. We have had a few bear sightings and the dumpsters are being empty each night by all sizes of bears. Of course been to the casinos and to copy my sister “we have been scalped”. Ha!!!
With help from a couple of women that are going with me we have been in contact with about 15 PCV’s in Ghana. The are giving us lots of information and have had a few requests also. Got a wonderful video on Utube from a PCV showing us his village and the area around it. It makes it so real that I will be there very soon. The address to this utube movie is

My children, sister and her husband as well as my husband are planning a party next Saturday night for me in Austin. They have invited friends and family some that I have not seen for awhile. I am so excited and sad at the same time. My new friend Teri that is going with me said it was alright to be both at the same time.
Because everyone is so busy I get to be the “greeter” at my daughters home when my niece her husband and three munchkins drive in from Dallas to go to the party. My Mother in law wants to come up a few days early so we can have a little time before I leave. Again very excited and a little sad.
Got a few football games at Dripping Springs High School to go to so I can see the grandkids dance, cheer or play football. I will miss all that but hopefully pictures will be sent. I am sure there will be a few soccer games to go to for the youngest Grandchild. Fun times -
Will be back in Austin Wednesday and will have to get the packing thing done as well as tie up a few loose ends. Last Dr appt, get prescription etc.
Need to get voter thing done too!! I am afraid this last 30 days is going to fly by but then……
