That's basically what I did for two days (11 hours each way), plus my aunt's funeral in between. Got back very late Sunday night. The Brick had to stay home to keep a dogsitting commitment, but I had the pleasure of Cousin Phil's company all the way home.
It turns out he enjoys pioneer history, too. We stopped a few times at landmarks of the Santa Fe Trail: ruts left by the thousands of wagons that journeyed up and down, including Charlie's Ruts. Fascinating.
It felt a little strange to see lines that had been there for hundreds of years, and know that other eyes had seen these plains and hills -- and wonder how they were going to make it.
I get to stay home this week -- it's my turn to cover dogsitting chores while the Brick and Cousin work on our back deck. Reports to work on, too.
Meanwhile:
This celebrity had to sell everything just to get out of debt, after his company was defrauded. But he and his wife did it, and now they're thriving. He says:
"I am where I am BECAUSE of this woman. Brothers Bond Bourbon is actually here today because of this woman. I was able to start my life over because of this woman. Needless to say it’s been the most eye opening and truly humbling experience."
A Chick-Fil-A employee almost gets away with stealing $80,000...by charging, then refunding mac & cheese orders!
Recycled art. In some very cool ways. Including this piece:
Easy kitchen hacks.
Cruise senior boo-boos.
Crazy finds from Goodwill bins.
King Charles' speech to Congress. English major types, take notice: he referenced two writers in his comments -- including my buddy! His Royal Highness made some funny remarks during his visit to the States, including a cheeky admission that Brits had done some 'redecorating' of their own to the White House. (He meant the War of 1814, and soldiers setting the White House on fire. I guess you could call it that...)
Have a good week.
