Getting Ready to Go--Again

I just got home from my daughter's a few days ago but am now preparing to go again...this time to my sister's.  She and I will be attending a Celebration of Life luncheon for the mother of my childhood sweetheart in Bloomington, IL.  (My sister was the flower girl at the woman's wedding.)   It's also a good excuse for me to be there for a little respite for her because of her husband with dementia.  Any distraction/buffer helps.  I get it!

My Russian friends (my daughter's in-laws) cleaned my car when I was up there--most appreciated! Today, I took the buggy to get the oil changed for the first time since I bought it almost a year ago. (Long overdue!)  The only things I need to put in the vehicle for the trip this time are a re-packed suitcase and my train case with meds and cosmetics.  It's almost routine.

After I return, I have a couple of doctor's appointments and will most likely stay put until November.  I'm hoping the family will find time to come here during Covered Bridge time!  I don't count on anything anymore because there is "many a slip twixt the cup and the lip".

Wish me luck!
