First of all, Happy, happy birthday to my niece Tonia and to my friend Mary! Hope these lovely ladies both had a wonderful day – surrounded by family and love!

Since I got almost everything organized for the trip except packing, I could take my time doing chores this morning. I did see the horses, but was getting the mail and didn’t have my phone with me. By the time I got it and went back out, they have moved on. But they are so beautiful and majestic!

About 10:30am I called work, and the car that I’m taking tomorrow was ready. What a change driving the Grand Cherokee after the Ford Echo Sport! They are both nice vehicles but totally different to operate. There will be plenty of room for everything we need to take – and trust me, we know how to NOT travel light! It took over $80 to fill the gas tank! THAT was a culture shock!
Before I got into packing, I worked on my little frame craft. It was tricky but not hard. I liked how it turned out. My original intention was to glue the cow cookie cutter on, but decided I didn’t like that and this is the result.

I am still binge-watching THE HISTORY TRAVELER – Gettysburg videos. Most of the videos are battle and cemetery details, but a few were houses or areas that you can tour. So I took notes. I like listening to J.D. SO I guess I’m ready! Oh – and I won’t be posting again until sometime after Thursday of next week – I have lots of obligations once we get back!
