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 the Goodwill bins.
King Charles' speech to Congress. English major types noticed he referenced two writers in his comments -- including my buddy! His Royal Highness made some funny remarks during his visit to the States, including the 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. Yep, I guess you could call it that...
Have a good week.
