I smell another road trip!  I know, I know, I am doing the NE LAN in April.  And, considering where I'd like to go, it will have to wait until after that.  I am always restless and ready to run away from home.  So, this is the tentative plan....

When my kids were growing up, we played "what if" a lot.  We were poor as churchmice and didn't have a lot of "stuff", so many times our wishes turned to material things.  Our favorite "what if" was "what if you had a million dollars, what would you do with it?"  It was actually difficult to spend that money cuz we had the kind of lifestyle that we always made do with whatever we had.  So, the list was almost always the same:  a new house, car, various toys, and trips to wherever, Disney World and such.  We had no imagination, but it was still fun.

My daughter is very busy with her work, family and whatnot.  We did carve out some time to have lunch together and just hang out for a few hours the other day.  It was sooooo nice.  I don't remember when she became a "woman", but a very fine one she is!  We are at the point now where we can actually talk about "grownup" things, and she has become very wise.  We discussed many things, including what's going on with family dynamics, work (we are both nurses), Christmas stuff, the fact that I missed my son-in-law's bday (my bad!), and our desire for world domination.  I didn't a

OMG! It's December!  I wonder when that happened.....  This time last year I was talking about being dusty and hoping to get a great Christmas present that would make me "undusty".  Well........still hoping for that!  But, the truth is, I have added creaky to the list, and I doubt I can be "uncreakied".  Time marches on whether we like it or not.
