End of our stay

We are on our last week of our stay in NZ.
Early next week we will be flying back to Colorado.
It feels like a good time to leave as the rain is getting heavier here in NZ, while in sunny Colorado it is 80 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny every day.
I am packing art to send to shows and to collectors.
Upon our return to the USA, we have to pack the van and drive to Chicago to do an art show in the city.
It will be my first art show with my "Artist's Sketchbook Series".
I have sold painting in this series both in NZ and the USA, but I have not done a show personally and had an opportunity to listen to the public. I am excited.
