March 25: Scheduled visit - Packing

I visited Lillian yesterday at our scheduled time. She looked good and was excited to tell me about her upcoming trip with Retta's family. Next week is spring break and the family is going to the North Carolina Outer Banks beach for a week's vacation. On the drive from Alexandria, Retta and family will pick up Lillian.

First, we went through the mail as usual, and found no unusual letters or bills. Since Lillian will be gone for a week, we used my computer to put in a mail hold with the post office. Mail service will resume automatically on Monday, April 6.

Next, I asked Lillian if we should start packing for her trip. At first, she said she didn't want to, but then I asked if we could get her suitcase, at least. She thought that would be a good idea. We went to the storage area in the basement but, whoops, forgot the key for her locker! Back to the apartment. We found it in the kitchen junk drawer. It was unlabeled; we went ahead and put a simple label on it (using a slip of paper and some scotch tape).

We brought the larger suitcase upstairs and gave it a quick wipe down (dusty!). There wasn't a lot of time to pack, but we picked out a few warm weather clothes, sunscreen, and her sun hat. This will help her get ready to go on Saturday.

It sounds like it will be a wonderful getaway for the family! I will see Lillian again on Wednesday, April 8 for our next scheduled visit. I am looking forward to hearing all of the stories!
