Tuesday was spent doing up the last bits of laundry, going through the fridge to toss out anything that won’t keep, or putting it in the freezer, if possible.
Hubby and I packed the last shirts, shorts and shoes into our bags and then piece by piece, we packed the car with our things.
The entire time the dogs were restless. Especially Fritz and Greta, as they have been through this before and recognize all the signs that Mommy and Daddy are going away. Fritz paced back and forth. Greta grumbled, and she followed us around as well. Each time I sat down for a moment, it seemed Greta was in my lap.
Dinner was easy. Leftovers heated up in the microwave. Easy! The only thing I actually cooked were the wax beans and my first eggplant!
Isn’t it beautiful?
Wake up is scheduled for 5:30 AM and departure is set for 6.
Isn’t it funny how the dogs can ‘sense’ something is a foot… Macc certainly can, and I sometimes suspect he might even suffer from seperation anxiety!
Departure at 6am… What is hubbies ‘on time performance’ like?? Greater than 75%?? Our major airline carriers have this on the websites, and some of them have a lot of improving to do… Have a great trip!
Have a happy and safe trip!!

mmmmm . . . eggplant.
Ah ! so you are under way now ! My cats too feel when we are leaving. Especially Pookie, she then sits on a suitcase of her choice ! And as soon as the car is out of sight, Lisa goes over to the neighbor to ask for food !
Hi Mom,
Hope the first day of driving goes well, and that you have a great time on your trip!
Lots of love,
Mandy
Oh, that eggplant looks yummy! Have a great trip! Love YOU, Mel
That is a lovely looking aubergine.
Hope the travels are going well!!
Yeah those dogs smell a trip coming a mile away!!! Your eggplant is lovely, how could you ever manage to cook it????
The Eggplant is fabulous. Never tried to have them in our Garden here.
It’s amazing how our pets understand when we are about to go away for a while. Sometimes, it seems like they can read our thoughts.
have very safe and nice trip
Oh, it does look like top-class and so shiny! Great photo too.
It’s difficult to leave ones pets behind, but of course, one has to get out in the world sometimes 🙂
