As we packed for the move to our Tucson house, we edited all our things and continued to edit after we moved in. We packed box after box of items that we could no longer use. We took a load to Dallas in February. Brian took a load two weekends ago, when he drove the truck back to Texas. We gave some things to the Boys & Girls Clubs, and we invited "our Boys & Girls Club kids" to a Come and Take It Party today. Meybelyn, Gabi, Alex, Tati, Sergio, Rudy, and Alan arrived at 11. Their charge was to "take it all!" They chose what they wanted. We packed a box for David to send with Alan. Within an hour, they had their piles ready to pack their cars. Voila! They came and took it!
After all the work of choosing things to take home, we had a four course lunch on the porch, with salad, pizza, fruit, and gelato. Everyone talked about their college/high school experiences and told us of their summer plans. Alan will study for a month in Australia, Gabi and Alex will intern in Maryland, Tati is spending a few weeks shadowing a doctor and visiting family in Cameroon, Rudy will go to Mexico to help his family work on their second home, Meybelyn will be working, and Sergio is taking a summer college course and working. They're all doing interesting things! We are so proud of them!
