Details.
These are the tiny details that are getting me through the fights at breakfast, the can't find any socks, the constant hum of the washing machine, the after school pick ups and drop offs, the lunch boxes and the every day routine.
These are the tiny details of our bigger picture, our great caravan adventure.
The caravan itself is in Ballarat getting sealed and upholstered and fixed up. There has been a hold up with the car we have chosen and we might need a back up plan, but the details are still going on around us.
A new to us granny rug for our bed.
A stack of old china crockery for the kitchen.
A meeting with the school principal who has given us his blessing and is excited for us.
Computer searches of how to make elasticised sheets and curtains and stenciled names.
A pair of new bathers. Ahhhhhhhhhh beach and warmth and sand and bathers.
Discussions about a DVD player, yes or no? How many computers to take? How we will access to the internet? Will I blog? Phones? A GPS? How many pairs of shoes can I take? eeeeeeeeep!!!!!
The start of a collection of sewn pot holders.
A definite
yes and a date for the family staying here to move in.
Cleaning and decluttering for that family.
Lots of tests of colours for the inside and for the stripe on the outside.
The studying of a map and planning our route. My goodness it's a long way.
And bedtime reading material.
Right now a couple of months seems like an eternity. But with all these little details going on around us, its starting to feel real. Hooray!!
I'm excited. What are you excited about and looking forward to?
Bye. x
