We just finished my farewell potluck here at the house. There were a lot of good family friends, a few Starbucks people and naturally, family. We encouraged people to bring a dish from another country. People brought curry, Scandinavian desserts, Italian baked ravioli, German meatballs and many other delicious dishes. There were maybe 50 or 60 people here! It was great. You could get a great plate of food and then come back after 30 minutes and there would be several new dishes there. It was great. Thanks to everyone who came! It was really great to see everyone and be wished bon voyage by you all!
I have just over a week to go. Just eight days, four hours and 10 minutes until my flight leaves from Seattle. I was able to get rid of a few bags of clothes, toiletries and other stuff that my cousin will be able to either use, give to her roommates to use or try to sell at a garage sale they are holding in a few weeks to benefit their house. I hope they can put it to good use but I'm also really glad to get rid of stuff. Hopefully I can sort through more stuff in my packing in the last week and find more stuff to get rid of to lighten my load when I return and move to wherever I go next.
One more day of work and then that's it for me and Starbucks! At least until I get back and need a job to get back on my feet when I return. Then it'll be Auf Wiedersehen Starbucks! It's been a nice three years and three days! Oh- and three stores too- J. Clyde Morris, Newport News, VA 10705, Rivanna Ridge, Charlottesville, VA 7828 and Meridian Haggen, Bellingham, WA 320! Ha ha- 333! I don't know what that means but it's got to mean something, eh?
