First, REFERRALS. It looks like the CCAA has referred up to May 10. This is not yet official but agencies are reporting it and our agency sent us an alert today to get moving on our federal paperwork.
At this rate, we could get our referral in September and travel in November!
Our current federal paperwork expires in November and must be renewed before we leave. I'm caught bw feeling excited by the progress and nervous abt the pace. This paperwork involves many entities--local, state, federal--coming together quickly and efficiently. What are the chances?
To this end, we'll be in Wichita at 8 a.m. next Wednesday for our latest fingerprint appointment. Look at a map or just take my word for it--we'll be on the road by 4 a.m. I tried to change the time, but it would involve an act of Congress to do so w/o a 45 day wait. I moved from Level One to Level Two of telephone assistance w/o making any headway w/women who were clearly reading from scripts. Sigh.
The BDAY was John's. We celebrated on Sunday, one day early. First, we went to Laura Ingalls Wilder's home in Mansfield, MO, the home where she wrote her books (which she didn't begin until age 65--I love late-bloomer stories). After that, we headed to Spgfld, where we ate at Nonna's and wandered the empty, dusty streets. Finally, we made it to Hammons Field for a minor league game bw the Springfield Cardinals and the Midland RockHounds (Oakland As). It was a great game until the deluge began during the third inning. The picture below is Josie and me in front of a stretch limo. If you notice a lot of pink in the background, that is a breast cancer awareness campaign. Even the Springfield players had pink uniforms and pink bats.
Technology is not my friend at the moment. I'm logging off.
