To my friends and readers who celebrate the Winter Solstice and\/or Yule, a happy day to you. As of today Winter has officially begun. Around here I think it started up a day or two early with a rather harsh artic blast. I can feel the cold seeping off the windows and into the living room.<\/p>\n
Our New Years plans changed a bit due to the fact that the venue we wanted to go to changed the rules a few years ago and made the party 21 and over only. This was news to many of us. So we rethought the situation and went with an alternative that I like a lot. I personally think Caroline is going to be asleep before midnight but with her you never know.<\/p>\n
So today is more of the same in terms of getting ready to go on a trip. I am making sure my AAA membership is up to date and all my other ducks are lined up. I have been making lists and checking them twice. I pulled a few obscure things we need out of the corners of the house. Next is to sort out the driving DVDs and Cds for the group and finish the laundry. I am planning to do most of the car packing tonight with the final items to be put in tomorrow.<\/p>\n
I am grateful to my mother for showing me by example how to get ready for a trip with kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
