What I did on my summer vacation
| Tue, 07-01-2003 - 7:39pm |
Dh and I drove across the country to see our children and grandson and also my Mom. It takes us two and half days to drive back. We arrive at our friends house in IN and it was raining and very humid. Normal June weather in IN. They live on a farm there and have no phone right now as this is there summer house and they are going to only be there for three weeks and then have to go back home because their dd is getting married. Their toliet was not working properly so dh help our friend get it fixed. Then we went up to see our ds and ddil and our adorable little grandson. He is getting so big and is now walking and talking constantly. At 18 months he is a real cutie and even beginning to throw a few temper tantrams. From there we went to Chicago to visit with a dear friend we had not seen in about 15 years. While up in the Windy city area I got to meet with Darby, Mindy,her dh and sister and Jan and her dh. We had a great time together and had lunch. The time went by much to quickly and we all had to leave to head our separate ways. What a great time and a wonderful bonus for the trip. We headed back to my Mom's house and it was good to see her but she is not doing as well and getting very frail. She didn't know who I was until the next morning. My dd and sil came to see us while we were visiting with Mom. Got to visit with two of my brothers and that was nice. We then went back to the farm to spend four more days with our friends and then head back west. We stopped in OK to see my cousin and her dh a nice two day break to the long trip back home. One more stop at dh brother's and then back here on Monday. All in all it was a great trip but it is always great to get back home.
Took my pictures in to be developed today so hope to share soon.

Mighty Mom will be in my prayers.
You will probably need a few days
to really recoup from the trip.

Sounds like a good trip all and all. Sorry to hear your mom is doing poorly. Welcome home, we missed you here.
Still a tad miffed I missed you all in Ill. Oh well, tomorrow is another day. lol
Hugs,

Sorry that your mom is not doing so well, and that she never knew you the first day.. that is always hard on the people who are not remembered.
I am glad that you got to see her though, living away from her is hard and so all the time you were together helps.
I just bet your dgs is getting big and of course looking fantastic! Did he play shy at all?
Well gotta say I am glad you had a pretty good time but glad you are back also,
so tell us any more vacations in the works for the next while?
Welcome home! Lor

Evan was not the least bit shy and even called me grandma. Mom bless her just gets confused by evening that she has a hard time knowing who people are. It is hard living so far away but also sometime much easier not to have to watch her go downhill.
No more vacations planned as of now. With a retired dh though you never know. LOL
Love ya
