Got the truck! Blue Dakota with a CD player and extended cab. Yay! Amazing how much you can get done when you have wheels. (They frown on carrying large cardboard boxes on the bus.) Consigned a bunch of clothes, took others to Goodwill, got stuff from the bank, mailed 4 boxes of stuff to us in France, and got the dog microchipped and health certificate filled out--all in an afternoon! Too bad so many things are so far apart here--you really do need a car for so much. I will be taking loads to our storage unit now, in the back of the truck. :)

Dr. B is in Minneapolis tonight, so I am by myself with Lucy. They are showing our apartment tomorrow, so will have to clean some, plus the in-laws are coming tomorrow for a visit. I do have leftover birthday cake, so tonight won't be all bad by myself.

*NOTE* Clasen's Bach Torte--worth every calorie! (4 layers of chocolate cake with rum, vanilla buttercream, raspberry preserves, dark chocolate and crushed hazlenuts. MMMmmmmmmm... maybe I'll just skip dinner and eat cake.)
