Packed and Ready To Go

We have three weeks before our adventure begins and I have been slowly getting
my things packed.  Everything is in the west room out of sight so Annabelle won't
be disturbed by the gear lying about.  My coming home arrangements have been made
and we are flying American Airlines out of Heathrow on August 7 and taking Southwest the following morning from New York to Albuquerque.  My file of activities is several inches thick but all is in order so I won't have to chase
around looking for the next item.  Of course, like all plans in travel, things
could go awry at one point and I usually have a Plan B in place to pick up a new
direction.  The only thing I'm concerned about is a surprise Israeli attack on

Iran during our month away from home.  This would create a big problem especially if the US or Britain get involved.  All other matters will have to wait until we return.  Roy will be on duty back at the ranch to take care of house related activities; watering the vast array of plants inside as well as the outside gardens. Although it is mucho dry, the roses are doing well and Roy will be kept
busy while we're gone.
