Ken and I have started a 3 ringed binder full of lists. The binder sits on the kitchen island and can be added to as we think of things. There are many details to plan and remember...
- Things to Purchase
- Financial Arrangements
- Pets
- Fix/Repair
- Household Instructions
- Packing
An example of things to purchase would be shoes. Information provided by Ken's employer suggests that it can be difficult to find narrow and wide sizes in Alice, so we will each plan to take an extra pair of our most frequently worn shoes. (His feet are about EEEE and mine approach AAAA.)
On the Pets list, we have "Find a foster home for the dogs." In case I haven't mentioned it before, we have two very good dogs who need special foster parents. :-)
