GlacierPark. Road to the Sun. Oh.My.Word.

Yay ITT BB Team! Boo parents with no common sense (or manners.)

Now I must drive. 👎

If you want to travel, I have better suggestions. 😄

It would look very familiar to you. But not quite as flat.

Sigh.

I HATE autocorrect

Oh, and amen, Sister Jean!

Yay! Yay for poop and no cavities!

Did I mention that, yesterday, as I staggered around doing laundry and trying to get our house fit for company, DH looked at me and said, "Don't you think you're overdoing it?" Now, here's the deal. (Don't quote this part) I don't really have a bazooka. (You can quote now.) But, inspired as I was, a bazooka was neither necessary nor desired; hands on throat would have been JUST the tool for the job. Tragically, however, I lack also an excavator attachment for the tractor so...disposal...would have been extremely difficult. And I would have to drive today. Which I hate. I won't tell you which was the deciding factor in allowing him to live.

Jean: I love you very much. Sadly, however, I must inform you that your Magic Whip seems to have lost some of its power. The deluge sneaked past you and is dumping on our heads. There is a half inch of SLUSH on my back patio. And we must drive for 8 hours today. On treacherous roads. If I ever get packed.

Word.

Good-ish morning. Today I must confess the painful reality that I am sick. It is nothing terrible-just a nasty sore throat and sinuses-but tomorrow we leave for State Capital. So, today, the house must be cleaned, the laundry must be done, copious notes directing animal care must be written, and bags must be packed. :blink:
