Having fun and counting down

It has been a couple of days and things are starting to look up. With the help of my brothers and their wives we managed to get a ton of things down around the house and it finally looks like we might be able to finish everything before we leave. We are basically packed and just have a lot of last minute calls and paperwork to pull together in order to get ready for our adventure. We have been talking about the fact that it does not seem real and probably will not until we get over to Musselburgh and actually start working. With my next blog I will begin to avail everyone on the history and fun facts of Scotland so I am getting excited about the true purpose of this blog. I know from phone calls that a lot of people have logged on, but no one is leaving comments. For those of you unfamiliar with blogging, all you have to do is click on the comments link at the bottom of each entry. We got to take a break last night and hit the beautiful city of Chicago one last time before we take off. We spent the evening with six dear friends whom we will miss alot in the next year. Hopefully some of them will be able to visit while we are there. The night was fabulous and this morning we went for a walk along the lake bringing back memories of our younger years when we lived downtown. Chicago is a great city, but I sure we will love Edinburgh too, as we have heard nothing but great things. It is hard to believe that we will not be seeing some people for the next year. Please continue to call and say farewell if you get the chance.

Cheers

Jeff
