Just dropping by in my hectic morning of packing for a funeral. Found out my nephew had died over the weekend and that our attendance to the funeral is a must. Talk about throwing this trip together in under 24 hours. I just hope that my car makes it there and back without any problems. The engine will definitely be rebuilt this coming spring if we get back in once piece. Basically we have to drive 23 hours straight from here in south central Idaho to Wausau, Wisconsin. It will be one of the few chances that my husband's side of the family will be able to see the kids since we don't know when we'll get a chance to go back. I'm off work until mid-next week, though I hope to be back in good old Idaho no later than Monday afternoon. I just hope that my cats will make it through the 100 degree weather that the local weathermen are predicting for this weekend. We'll set out plenty of water and such. I'm not too worried. As for my garden, it will be looked after by a friend of ours so it won't die on us while we're gone either.

So yeah... I'd better get off here so that I can finish packing so that we can leave soon. I just hope that the hotel we're staying at has wireless so that I can get on line. I'm sure that it does, but you never know. Wish me luck.

Jai
