Laundering, organizing and packing clothes and books, papers and CDs, gearing up for what I tell my children will be an "adventure" ... tomorrow I pack up my computer and Friday morning, early, we are on our way.

I am not looking forward to the two-day drive, even though it will be broken up by a weekend in the Edmonton area so that the boys can spend a few nights with their dad. "If there is anything you need," he said to me on the phone last night, "you just have to ask."

What I am looking forward to is living where both my sisters will be so close by, and Mom and Dad too. That will be quite a treat.
