A Little Bit About Alfred Wainwright.....

It's hard to believe we depart tomorrow! So exciting!

I thought I'd share a bit about Alfred Wainwright today. This link will take you to a brief history of Mr. Wainwright:

He looks sassy and I guess he beat those other people up the hill:

Today I painted my toenails blue for our trip. It's the only time I'm going to bother and I don't plan on taking nail polish remover, etc. with me, so my feet should be quite beautiful by the end of our trip. Don't worry -- I won't share photos. :p

I met with our builder and he's going to build our house cabinets while we're in England. I can't wait to see them.

I bought every possible thing I could possibly need on my drugstore run.

Funny thing -- the drugstore clerk told me to make sure I save my receipts because I earned TWO EMERGENCY FIRST AID KITS, but alas -- they were all out. hahaha I was laughing on the inside. She said I could come by to pick them up when we return from being out of the country. Good thing we've bought one on our own. ;)

I'm going to give Luke a spa day and I have written detailed instructions for his pet sitter, who is my niece, Chelsea. She's so sweet and I know will love Luke so much.

I think the the two most difficult parts of the trip for me -- is not seeing sweet Grace for so long and not having my faithful sidekick with me. I wish he could hike along with me in England. I suppose y'all know I love Luke.

Tonight I'm packing my suitcase and tomorrow evening we depart from Charlotte.
