“I have spent my days stringing and unstringing my instrument while the song I came to sing remains unsung”. (Rabindranth Tagore”
About six weeks ago Butch and I sat down and made lists of what had to be done before we could leave for Alaska. We included the kinds of things that had to be scheduled, appointed, and/or might require some time to accomplish. We didn’t start a minute to soon. It is amazing how slowly the wheels of some governmental agencies, medical providers, financial institutions, and public utilities turn
All three of us had had physical checkups, new prescriptions, and dental cleaning. Butch and I already had passports but Percy had to have her paperwork updated. We have put everything possible on-line and made advance arrangements for everything else. We have set up house sitting and mail pick-up. We have purchased some needed items repaired others. And the lists go on…….!
Trip planning can be great fun, especially in the winter or on rainy days. In April in the mountains, not so much. We are very ready to stop stringing and unstringing these particular instruments and to get on with the singing.
