Progress report...

Progress report...  We had a nice, relaxed day yesterday, accomplishing exactly nothing.  We watched a movie at home, then drove up to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park to watch wildlife, and finished it all off with a delicious dinner at Descanso Junction restaurant.

Early yesterday afternoon I did something that was a lot of fun: I drove Dionecia B. – our friend, house-sitter, and longtime house cleaner – down to Rancho Jamul Auto Care to pick up the RV we've given her.  It's been there for months getting a myriad of little problems fixed.  At the same time, I signed over ownership to her.  Her radiant visage when she picked up the pink slip was something I'll not soon forget.  I drove behind her as she drove the RV back to her home, to make sure she made it ok – she did just fine.

Today I begin the “moving out” process: going through everything we own, deciding whether we're going to keep it, toss it away (I have a big dumpster positioned to take the junk), give it away to friends, or set it curbside for anyone who might want it to take.  It's amazing how much crap one accumulates after 15 years of living in one place!
