……we hoped to get started quickly but the beginning ran a long time. It was hard for one of us to get moving without the other – action not being Annie’s strongest suit. Determined roaming in the wildflower fields of multiple choice is not preferred fun for an Activarious Maxima (AM) like Janet,  whose sympathy for her Ponderosa Missus (PM) had always been more than fair. So Janet wrote lists for herself which shortened of course quite quickly, and for Annie as well, which didn’t, and as summer deepens with spent wildflower blossom, the autumn of our departure draws less than 5 weeks hence, and Annie fears she is soon to be sent packing.
