MX5 in transport

Yesterday I dropped of the MX5 (Miata) for transportation stateside.  They'd better take care of it!

Too much gas

I've spent most of today driving the MX5 (Miata) around and around the local area.  We are shipping the car on Friday and it can't have more that 1/4 a tank of gas.  Of course, the MX5 gets good gas milage and I can't seem to get the gas needle to move.  Oh well, more driving tomorrow.

A little more blogging a whole lot less Facebook

NEWS:  In recent months, Facebook has become a breeding ground of discontent between friends, family and complete strangers.  Therefore I've decided to close my account with them.  Friends and family know where to find me.

As my friends and family know, I bought a house in Jacksonville Fl.  So we are in the process of moving from Germany to Florida.  It looks like most of the household goods will be picked up at our home in Germany the end of June.  Tom will be keeping the bare minimum as he'll be staying through Sept.  I'll fly back to FL in July.  With luck I'll have the household goods in August/Sept.
My little red convertible MX5 is being shipped on 25 May.  So I'll be without a car for a month.  Not sure how well that will go over.  Tom still has to use my VW to go to work.  He'll have to share.

I've been knitting in between trying to get the house ready for the move.  I've finished a couple baby sweater sets and a pair of fingerless gloves.
My knitting and packing has been handicapped by my shoulder problem.  Sometimes the pain is so bad that I just have to stop and take pain meds.  That makes me sleepy, not good for packing or knitting.

I have to say that Tom's been a champ about this.  He hasn't seen the house in FL yet.  He's moving to an area he wasn't sure he wanted to live in, and he still hasn't got his "big" truck to pull the camper (that he hasn't seen in over 3 years).

This should be fun.

Keep on knitting, crafting and keep in touch.
