Art and I were able to just relax alone today. I did a ton of laundry this morning then we went to see Wolverine. The weather has been cool and rainy so we decided to just go to the theater in Geneseo to see Wolverine and the new Star Trek movie today. We saw Wolverine at 2 then did a little shopping, once again for more things for Congo. Then stopped and bought some things for a nice lunch, steak and rice and cheese I am so happy to get to cook and not eat out. When we got home we sat folded the HUGE mound of laundry that has accumulated over the last 2 weeks along with everything we have purchased and watched Madagascar. It was nice to just have a quiet day of doing mindless things. We really needed that. Tomorrow is speaking at Union Presby. In Leciester and then dinner with Tom and Kelly and clan then off to LaGrange for our dinner and send off. So a day of nothing to stress about or really think about was needed to build us up for all the goodbyes that we will be doing tomorrow. I am not really looking forward to all the goodbyes we will be saying over the next week or so. I think the hardest one is going to be saying goodbye to the Lowrey’s with them leaving for Bosnia we really aren’t sure that we will be even on the same continent ever again.

Star Trek was AWESOME. We have already planned on taking Michael tomorrow night as a nice treat after all the sad goodbyes. He will really like it. It is what the TV show could have been with good actors.
