Long line of lasts

Down to the last week, so I have the last this and the last that every day.

Today was the last time I played piano at the salad bar (and got free salad, soup and breadsticks!), the last piano lessons in Chetek, and, of course, the last Friday in the fish fry capital of the world (I just went to Gordy’s and got a fish dinner.)

Sunday will be my last piano recital in Chetek, the last time I play at church, and my last dress rehearsal for the Red Cedar choir concert.

And, of course, the whole weekend is my last weekend in Chetek, which includes my last Saturday morning run down past the school and my last Sunday morning walk down Main Street when there is absolutely no traffic.

On a more mundane note, there is going to be the last laundry done here, the last cleaning of the tub, bathroom, floors, etc., boxing the last of the possessions, doing the last cleaning of the yard, and other exciting events.

Still, who can argue with 4 1/2 more days? Whoo-hoo!!

Just so you know, we decided this morning that Sherlock will not be going with us. It was a very hard decision, but he has passed the point where life seems to hold much enjoyment for him, and making a move is hard on a dog in the best of circumstances. I’m taking him to the vet he has known all his life on Monday afternoon, after we go out to the country and spend some time there. Meanwhile, I’m feeding him whatever he likes, since I don’t have to worry about pancreatitis doing him in any more. And I’m taking pictures and videos of him.
