Last Monday at Home (for a while)

So it finally hits Bear and I that we are spending the last Monday in the Hill Country of Texas for some time.  At least we hope it turns out that way.  We have decided to keep our home since we built it.   We had the shell built then we hung the sheet rock, did the plumbing and electrical and even mined 52 tons of rocks from our property and laid same around the outside.   Too much sweat equity to sell it.  Anyway, we might need the place for a retreat during hurricane season or if we don't like life in a 41 foot floating, fiberglass, non-square, never still, slanting, overstuffed, under comfortable, sometimes hot, sometimes cold, sometimes wet, sometimes smelly, mold producing, always needing maintenance home.  It is S minus 6 (more or less) and we are into the moment.  Done all the list I care to do yet I still have a list.  We have gotten brain cramps thinking about what to take and what to leave.  So be it.
