Only ten days left til we leave. I got the car serviced for the trip. I had to have some things fixed that I didn't expect,but I knew the repairs were coming,so it is just as well done before the trip.
I Ordered a shopping cart for our loot. It's
better than I thought it would be. My husband put it together and it's already in the trunk.
I fear that it will be a long week at work. I will be busy because it is the end of the month. Hopefully being busy will help.

15 days to go
I'm a little concerned about the heat wave that is socking it to the middle of the country. It's hot here too, but I hear that people are actually dieing from the weather. The world is strange these days. I'm still excited about the trip. We will take plenty of bottled water and pace ourselves. We will be fine. Texted with an old friend from high school this morning. He lives in Fort Payne, Alabama and wants to have dinner the night we are in town. The yard sale goes right through there. He told me about the golf clubs he got for a steal on year. It should be fun to see an old friend and catch up.

16 More Days
16 more days until we leave. People at work are asking to look for things like plastic Smurf toys. I guess I better make a list so I won't forget. Some people shake their heads and others act like they want to go too. I think it will be an experience that we won't forget. Looking forward to it.

17 Days til We Leave and Everythng is Falling Into Place
Just 17 more days. I went to get my driver's license renewed this morning. It was going to expire on the 4th, after our leave date of August 3rd. What a pleasant experience! The Delray Beach Florida office of the Tax Collector was so friendly and helpful! I had a appointment so I was taken right in. The girl behind the desk, Cathy, was very pleasant and informative. She had heard of the "World's Longest Yard Sale" and wished us luck on our trip. I got back to work in less than an hour and the picture they took looks better than the one from 8 years ago! All seems to be right with the world today! I know I keep saying it, but I am so excited to leave on the trip!

19 Days and Counting
We leave in 19 days. Still working out the details. Everyone that we talk to says that it will be hot, hot, hot!!
I ordered some Coolee Scarves today from the Little League ball field concession stand. You are supposed to put them in water and they get really cool. Then you wear them around your neck and they keep you cool. My friend whose son plays ball, says that they really work. Friends are giving us lists of things to look for. One collects tea pots. Another wants glassware. I have a list made and my camera ready. Can't wait to leave.

Leaving in 28 Days
It's still a go for our trip to the yard sale. Only 28 more days until we leave. Everyone is so busy working extra hours to make extra cash for the trip that we haven't gotten together lately. I got up early this morning and watched video's of past sales. It got me even more excited to go on this trip. Still need to book a vehicle. I am getting worried that we won't get a good deal if we wait much longer. I'm a planner and a worrier, I guess.
