Aah..summer! The season of heat, humidity, road construction, mosquitos...and for some, vacations. But not me. No, I prefer to wait until my favorite time of year - FALL. But I am preparing for my Fall vacation(s) this summer. Well, OK, to be honest I do have a mini-vacation planned for a couple weekends from now. An overnighter at my friend Nona's cabin with my other friends Sandy and Carlene. We call ourselves "Four-ever Friends". This is the first time we've done anything like this and it should be a lot of fun!
Starting with Labor Day weekend, I will be driving to Plymouth, IN with my sister, JoElla. We're going to visit our brother and his lovely wife and attend "Blueberry Festival". My other reason for the trip is to visit the school Roxi works at to see the $500 worth of books I won and donated to them! It was a contest at Target, I was one of the winners and I got to donate $500 of books to the school of my choice. I chose them because she's taught there for many years and I kinda like her, too!
Then it's "Sister's Weekend" time the 2nd weekend in October. We're going to a place near Grand Rapids, MN that we went to 2 years ago. This will be our 11th year! I look forward to this every year. Just relax and get reacquainted with my 5 sisters.
And my final trip will be to Seattle - right after Sister's Weekend. I haven't been there yet and Chelsea has lived there over a year (this time around). I finally booked my "VRBO" (Vacation Rental By Owner) and it's a cute, cute, cute place. Can't wait to meet all of Chelsea's friends and Chris's son Mally. And can't wait to see all of the places she talks about. For me this is the trip olf the century! Last time I had a plane ride was well over 8 years ago. Now that things are taking shape, it's getting very exciting to think about!!
Next year (depending upon my employment status) I am planning a trip to California to see my brother and his family and also visit my "California Angels" (Sandy, Sally and Connie). I have never actually met Sally and Connie, but feel like they are my "sistahs" in heart. So I have to meet them (because God knows they will NOT come to Minnesota!!).
So what are all YOUR plans for the summer or the Fall? Inquiring minds need to know!
Roxi and I will be moving to another house that will forever remain a secret. I forgot to tell everyone July 4th that we won the lottery.
ReplyDelete"our brother and his lovely wife" who are you trying to impress.
Remember who does all the cooking around our house.
I'll buy a GPS and find you. And she is lovely and she is your wife..and you may cook, but I know who is really in charge (and I don't mean the cat).
