Ready to go

So we leave for Florida soon. This should be a true adventure. I’ve never driven it before and I probably won’t be doing any of the driving this time either. But we will be going by car. I’m really looking forward to it. But if there was any one time I’d love to be beamed there, Scotty, this is it. Traveling with the cat  … hmmm. I plan to give her a sedative and hope that she’ll sleep most of the way. Then once we’re there it’ll be a matter of not having her freak too much and try to run away. We’ll be on a canal, and I’m sure there will be cat-eating creatures not far away. And Susie just isn’t a kitten anymore—almost 15! (I’ve decided I want to be a cat in my next life; they don’t get wrinkles.)

Life around here is pretty boring right now so I’m doubly glad for the FL diversion. I need to find something to do … that won’t hurt me! I’m swimming and it seriously exacerbated my old tennis-elbow tendonitis so I even have to be careful doing needlework. Did you know that tennis elbow is affected by cross-stitch? It is. So I put on an elbow brace to do it! And that’s where I’m headed now.

Wish us safe travels. I’m sooo hopeful that Bruce will make it only a 3-day trip.

You are going to have SUCH a great time once you get there, the trip won't be a big deal. Try to enjoy yourselves and soak up some Florida rays!!! Oh - I think the Strawberry Festival is going on then in Plant City. Free strawberry shortcake! Something to consider. :)
