Hey Ruth you could always hitch a ride and stay here while she is
re-honeymooning with hubby, and then drive back with her and the kids!
You're welcome too join the party.

I don't know if this is such a fun place really.  Kind of quiet
really--just hubby, and the critters poking around.  I was just out
pulling weeds out my thyme patch repenting in my mind for going postal
with Bill.  It is a lovely time of year here so Cindi and family have
timed it right.  I am really looking forward to meeting her.
Concerning the cleaning, knowing me I will be flying around like a mad
hatter the night before stuffing things out of sight.  I'm not really
too worried about the image I present as she is a horse gal too and
will understand and probably feel more at home if things are au
naturel.  I'm keen to show her some hideously beautiful lamps that I
bought at the auction this week.  My hubby did a double take when I
got them out of my truck.  Imagine brass lamps that are about two feet
tall with tiers of chandelier crystals hanging.  They're like
something out of grand hotel somewhere.  They're so ghastly ornate
that they can stop traffic, but I love them.
