Going away Party and Packing

Time to write again...well, I had my going away party on May 11th and since Mother's Day was on May 13th several friends brought their Mom's which was a really nice touch.
I had a keg from Upright Brewing and my roommate Rob made Mojito's which were a huge hit. Menu included Sturgeon with sour cream, capers and red onion on crackers; Vegetarian Jambalya with cooked shrimp or Andoullie Sausage on the side for carnivores to add in; and slow cooked BBQ'ed Brisket. Homemade Pecan Pie and a Chocolate Fudge cake rounded out the desserts with some cheesecake my friend Diane brought and RJ brought chips and a veggie tray. So no one went hungry!

Thanks to everyone who came out to help me celebrate!

Now on the 16th I have completed some big things to prepare for the move. I have my Australian Bank account setup which was a pain and today I boxed my bike. Unfortunately I could not get as much in the box with it as I had hoped so more sorting and thinning. Tomorrow a non-profit group my friend Louisa turned me on to will come and pick up a donation of camping gear and other stuff that I have which will help reduce the pile in the garage. Now that the bike is done I hope to get another big bag packed soon. My date to leave, June 5th, is still aways off but I like to have things together so I can slack off. That's all for now!
