Home!

Home.... How sweet it is.

We pulled into the driveway right at 4:00pm. I'm still doing laundry, unpacking, and hugging my kitties every few minutes.

We had a lovely weekend with family as we celebrated Kelsey's marriage to Zach. I will share more about the weekend later.

Right now I plan on a much-needed shower and a good night's sleep in my own bed!

Congratulations, Kelsey & Zach!

Sister Kim's baby girl got married today!

I will share more about the wedding this coming week. Tonight I sign off with:

"Welcome to the family, Zach!"

The Day Before the Wedding Day

Zach gave us a tour of his family farm. I got to stand next to their little green tractor.

Zach's parents invited us to the rehearsal dinner.

And now it is time to get some sleep!

T-Plus One Day

After a whole day and night of traveling, we have arrived for the wedding festivities.

I took "before travel" and "after travel" selfies.

Before: I wasn't so sure about the whole R.V. thing.

After: I'm going to take a shower and rest in a real bed!

Derf Here! Enjoying another summer day.

Here I sit very early on blog day. Why is this? Well, our Scarbrough family will be leaving in a couple hours for a 1,200-mile ride to Illinois.

We are looking forward to the wedding of Kelsey -- our granddaughter, niece, and cousin.

We will make the trip in a 43-foot Class A motorhome.

We'll be on our way shortly, so I'm done now.

Until next time!

Toodle Pip!

Derf!

T-Minus One!

My bags are packed as much as they can be. Will have some last-minute stuff to put in tomorrow morning.

The R.V. has been in our driveway since Sunday. It is huge.

I have been texting and leaving notes all over the house for our house-sitters. Our kitties will be in good hands.

And now I must get some sleep... if I can!

Advice Extrapolated

One of my favorite bloggers is Susanna Foth Aughtmon, a tired supergirl.

She wrote a hysterical post back in May with the advice of "don't buy a swimsuit from China." (You can read that post by clicking HERE.)

I had a similar experience when I ordered a "Batgirl" t-shirt to wear to Adam's superhero birthday party.

My favorite online shopping site had just the shirt I wanted. There were no customer reviews, but it wasn't like I was buying an evening gown.

I was going to order it in large, but then I remembered Lew's frequent remark about how I wear my clothing too loose and baggy (my euphemism for that is "comfortable").

So I ordered a medium.

The website said nothing about the shirt being shipped from China.

I was barely able to get the shirt on my body. I wore it long enough to get through the party.

It is now part of Emily's superhero wardrobe. She will look adorable in it.
