Up to Our Elbows In It

When you read this we'll be at the lake, covered up with boxes and furniture. That's if all goes well. That's if the driver has a GPS and actually finds the place! I told him to just drive south til he comes to a neighborhood out in the middle of nowhere, complete with wild boars, skunks and water moccasins. Turn left at the water moccasin, and there you'll find us.

So we're moving into our lakehouse, that was already filled with the furniture it came with. Some of it is bearable, some of it not so much. The TV that weighs close to 100 lbs has to go because if it falls on a grandchild there won't be anything left of them. The Elvis bedroom set - well, enough said. That southwestern theme futon and matching chair is going too. Hopefully, since I have plans for that to be my office / craft room. So we'll be hosting some Craig's List ads down there too, trying to get rid of stuff, before the driver arrives with our stuff.

Then I'm off to Colorado for TWO WEEKS to visit all my family, in three different places. I'll slip into the edge of Kansas, a very happenin' place, for a few days to visit my Dad, then almost into Utah to spend some time with my sister, Barb and her family. Inbetween visits to and fro I'll be in Denver spending time with my Mom and three brothers. I even have plans to pull off a margarita night with two girlfriends from high school! It's been awhile so hopefully we'll recognize each other. 'Hey, it's me, over here, 20 lbs heavier with the good color job, and underwear like my mom's that I swore I'd never wear!'

So you'll hear less of me for a bit as computer time will be scarce. But I should come back with some great stories from the wild west!
