5/27/2013. - Day 62 - Well it’s all over now and it sure is Monday.
The rest of the world is on holiday today, but since we are
all retired here, it’s just like any day. And any day, as my grandpa says, is like a
Saturday when you are retired. Lana and I have very specific plans for this day
though, plans that involve shopping and holiday sales and all matter of pretty
things. We also pick out some special items for me to take home for the girls.
Eden will be 3 Saturday, June 1st, the only date of importance for
basically this entire trip as this is the date I must be home by. Eden may not
remember turning three, but I will remember if I miss it.
We choose some dresses for the girls and a few books and add those to the pile of spoils we will bring home.

I am furiously trying to write as much as possible while not
missing a bit of the action and adventure that is mine for the taking on this
trip. I am constantly writing in my head, and then subsequently scribbling onto
scraps of paper or the covers of magazines so that I don’t forget my ideas.
Sometimes I’m even smart enough to type them into the notes section on my
iPhone so that I can at least have a hope of discovering them and incorporating
them into this long story I’ve been spinning for two months.
Dinner is ready so I wrap up a paragraph and feel a tinge of
despair at all the writing I long to get out onto these pages. I’m so far
behind. I reason that I am glad to have had the adventures I did and figure I
have forever and a day to write it all down. That’s if I can remember half of
it!
I enjoy a final supper of sorts with my grandparents
tonight. Tomorrow I will have to actually pack my stuff, which I haven’t really
started, load the bike, and get out of dodge.
