We’re Baaaack! (3 Comments)
Just when you thought it was safe in blog land, I return.
We had a fun time. Walks and tractor rides in the woods, eating berries in the garden, eating lots of ice cream, dining outside, and visiting with friends and family.
Unfortunately, little Miss “I Don’t Get Carsick Anymore” did. On the busiest freeway that we traveled on. Luckily she is good with a bag but she wanted me to take it from her. Ummm. What was I supposed to do with it while I was driving in heavy traffic? She managed to seal it up and hung on to it until a more convent time. We then attended a salad bar reception at a museum. The kids were thrilled. Ha! They stared at the beautiful array of lovely (adult) things for the salad with dismal faces. The Boy had grilled chicken and a roll, Pixie had that but also tried a few of the other items like a small tomato and a pickle. Sunshine, who likes salad, actually had some with chicken AND shrimp. They enjoyed the brownies though. They were really good during the whole, very adult thing and were glad to get outside at the end to do some running around. They had peanut butter on crackers when we got to the Grandparent’s. Pixie ate two boiled eggs, two pieces of toast and bacon for breakfast. Took me awhile to figure out why she was so hungry. Poor skinny dear lost her lunch and didn’t have much dinner.
I was able to go to the State Archives and get some paper work from 1894 I had been wanting to get. It stressed me a little- I don’t like traffic or new situations but I managed. It’s times like those I sure miss The Col.
Speaking of Col. Panic, he and The Dog managed just fine. They stayed here and watered, played guitar (which is a feat for a dog) and ate leftovers. Sounds like a dog’s life to me.
So I’ll be getting up some stories and photos in the next couple of days. My throat is a tad sore and I don’t have much energy. Part of that is just getting home and collapsing- dreading unpacking and doing laundry. The other part- well, I hope I’m not getting sick.
How you all doing? I missed you.
Did you leave our world only to contract some bug to bring back and share? LOL That’s what you get for making contact with the outside world you know….I mean I can’t believe you had the desire to see anything but wheat fields and dust!!! Shesh. I’ll bet it was a nice change huh?

I know, what kind of fool am I? To venture forth in to the great wide world and actually INTERACT with people. Tsk. Shake my head. I got what I deserve- over stepping my britches.
It is a nice change- can’t see out though. We can only see directly over our heads. We thought it was a clear day until we left the home place and discovered it was cloudy/hazy. That wouldn’t happen here!
I’ll have to see how I am doing tomorrow- hopefully a good sleep will help things.

[…] of my many cousins came over for a visit when we were at my parent’s back in July. Looking back, I see I promised stories and photos about the trip. And then didn’t post any […]
