Making lists…
We’re leaving town in a few days, finally headed back east for a visit. The dog/house sitter is all lined up, the travel plans made, plans made to see family and friends, etc. Now just the frantic list-making of everything that needs to be bought/washed/packed/remembered and trying not to stress too much in anticipation of the joys of air travel with a toddler. Add to that the stress of a too-short trip, having to divide time between Thumper’s two grandmas, not having enough time to see enough friends, knowing however much time we give to anyone won’t be enough… We moved away from everyone we love and now we get to see their faces oh so briefly in a whirlwind visit. Okay…some of their faces. So many people we aren’t going to be able to see on this trip.
Oy vey. Enough.
So yeah…heading back home for a visit soon. Hoping Thumper travels as well as he did last time. Hoping Diego behaves for the dog sitter. And knitting Trilce again. I finally cast on for the second one. Photos of knitting tomorrow, perhaps. Photos of something, anyway. I’ve been doing way too many photoless posts lately, for my taste.
I hope you have a safe trip, the weather in the east is abysmal, lots of snow and sleet. Hopefully by the time you hit the road it will all be gone…ciao

One of the things I did for my boss’s son and the neighbor’s kids is make them a “go Bag” in the “go Bag” were special things, like juice box, fig newtons, handi wipes, small books, crayons, paper little things, maybe a truck? I have gotten rave reviews, and many thanks because it was a “surprise” from Ms. Patty. Something like that might be of use to you.
Weather; icy rainy, crap.

Have fun on your trip!

I know what you mean (minus the toddler). When I moved from CA to MA, I realized that I would never really have a vacation to California again – they all became working vacations. Too much driving, not enough time with everyone, too much to do, but ultimately, even though you don’t get as much time with everyone as you would like, it’ll be good to have been there. Have fun!
