another road to reunion

hi, everybody. there's no stopping me now. We're supposed to leave tomorrow around noon for Montana/Washington for reunions. Montana is my 50th high school reunion, Washington is the Westgard reunion. I dont think we'll be ready. It is midnight and I havent even packed the trailer. Most of the stuff is ready, but it'll take some time to get it all stashed. Today I did laundry and ironing so we'd look our best. Just so I'd look younger than all those others, I had my hair colored and highlighted, had a pedicure and manicure, too. Gotta do all we can to one-up all those old people. Bernard Baruch said once, "Old age is 15 years older than I." I'd say old age is 20 years older. Our itinerary is as follows: Anaconda on Aug. 1,2,3. Polson to visit Joy, and maybe a jag to Glacier Park for a look-see. We'll leave the trailer in Tenino and maybe visit with Leighann till the 8,9,10 Aug. Or maybe we'll visit her after the reunion. The reunion doesnt sound like much fun, so we'll have to make our own. Lisa and Andrew will fly into seatac then Andrew will fly back two days later and Lisa will drive back with us.

salt for sale

WOOHOO!!! It worked. I am so glad. I just have a funny little thing to tell you all about our food storage. DONT buy any salt. I found 3 gallon cans more to go along with the 9 smaller boxes. That should be enough for the whole family. Daddy has finished the shelves in the storeroom and I am in the process of sorting out the food. Little did I know that he has food stashed all over the property. If it isnt in the breezeway closet or pantry upstairs, it is in the storeroom downstairs. If that isnt enough, try under the deck, in the little red car, or somewhere only he knows. I guess if we get caught in a crisis out by the barn or under the deck, we'll at least have something to eat! lol To go along with the salt, there are enough rolled oats and instant potatoes to have them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a whole year. Since there is only one can of freeze dried raspberries to go on the rolled oats. Kinda slim :(
