Vacation (Not the Chevy Chase Version)
It hasn't been that long since my last journal entry about Tucson. Don't get the idea that I am going to post here more than once a month but I am so excited, I just had to tell you...
I AM GOING ON A VACATION!!! A real time vacation, something Cecil and I have NEVER, EVER done with each other since we have been married. Cecil's brother (one of the evil twins) didn't believe in vacations, and since Cecil worked for him...he didn't get a vacation (paid or unpaid) in twenty some odd years. Oh, a weekend now and then but never a trip with the kids and me seeing the world outside our window as we cruise on down the road. People, take it from me...go when you can and don't let anyone stop you!
Now, you know I take a lot of road trips...drive in, unpack, set up, pack, drive out kinda trips and I do short trips with my Posse, girl weekends and that sort of thing but NEVER Cecil and I together on the road. We went to see Charlene once for her birthday but that was before Nate was born and he is 29 now. (*EDIT: Opps! Sorry Char, I guess Nathan was born but stayed home with his Nana...didn't mean to age you that much.)
Are you tingling in anticipation? Hah! We are going to Dallas for a quick overnite stay with my Pop then to Nashville for Nathan to see his buddy Jake (he misses him terribly). Nate will stay there after our four day stay and then Cec and I are off to South Carolina to see my folks and my bro and sis-in-law!!! I am soooo 'cited. Of course, the beads and jewelry are not forgotten. I am doing two trunk/home shows, one in Nashville, one in S. Carolina. Gotta pay expenses you know and it will give them all a chance to see what I am doing up close and personal. Yippeee!
It is a long haul, days of hard driving but I am so ready for this. Of course, made longer by my need to hit every rest stop from here to there. (Old age is creeping...)
We will be gone for fourteen days and thanks to Cactus Mary, my buddy who makes the soap, Yogi, Annie (our dogs) and Sky (my budgie) will have a good care-taker.
It's all set...more on this as it develops, concludes and pictures too.

a road trip! How wonderful. What a glorious turn of events and this is the exact right time to travel the country. Go east, young woman.
Perhaps you'll see traces of my daughter who spent 5 months or so of last year at Myrtle Beach, S.C., or maybe you won't see signs of her, but at least you'll know you're in the place that features daily in my yahoo's weather report.
ah, how sweet is that!
pictures, you say? excellent. bring em on. When are you going?

Hey Jack, 10-4 good buddy. I am not afraid of rest stops or cliffs or whatever.
Fear is never a good place to go. ;)
