The Old Folks Home

[drumstick diva]

No wonder I never got married - the guys I dated never brought my father anything or me either. My sister's dates used to bring things for my mother & little sister (me). I really did well for awhile thanks to her, a few boxes of candy and a stuffed bear.

Achem.


By the way, I have not died... Leaving in just a little bit to get the goats... Will not be back for two days.

Good luck on your trip I hope all goes well for you. I hope you don't have any trouble with the goats.

Thanks for the heads-up, Alaskan. Have a safe trip, and don't forget your earplugs!

Wow!

It takes two days to get goats?

Awesome!

Think he said the goats are like 500 miles away. Don't know why that would take 2 days... just start early, and drive straight through there to pick up in late afternoon, then turn around and drive straight through back. being night time, the goats should lay right down and be quiet almost the whole trip... no need to water them or feed them... They don't usually require either at night, & no ear plugs necessary...

I don't know about you Joe but 1,000 miles in a single day is WAY more than I can do. And you are assuming Alaskan's route is all "interstate" which may or may not be true, I have no idea.

In fact we now take 3 to go to Beloit (through Canada, far more pleasant drive though ~150 miles farther). When we dropped her off her first semester we went the USA route (~1,020 miles), stopping for the night at Niagara Falls since none of us has ever been there. Then 11 hours straight through to Beloit. About did in the spouse given the RA and since we didn't have hotel reservations for the return trip, and because my spouse said driving through Chicago once in her life was enough (*), we headed north. Taken that route every time since.

* My grandfather used to say Chicago is a good place to be FROM. I can only imagine what he would think of it now were he still alive. He and his parents moved to L.A. for his health when he was young so likely no later than 1899 since they show as being in LA in the 1900 census when he was 10.
