A little catch up to all.. The warm weather for a few days was spent in yard & garage pick up.. Just a start but well, a start. Enough however to make my back which had a few weeks of doing better..very sore again. Snowing heavily here now. Couple inches predicted. My van is at shop to see if it is perhaps trip worthy with not sinking a LOT of money into it.
A NEW ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, brakes, exhaust system etc would I am sure help but not in the budget! My friend Mark leaves for Japan Sat.. I could not be away from home for over a week & so had to pass that opportunity. I am hoping he does okay as it is only 2 weeks since his back surgery. He is a lot like me in OVER PACKING stuff.. his son (the Federal air marshal & former SS) is traveling with him & so will be his pack mule.
If all falls into place I will be joining the Gathering of Eagles in DC on Sat & the Walter Reed Freep on Friday night prior. The van trip worthy OKAY being part of agenda.
I mentioned on the Dose last night that I NOW have a Laura Bush haircut!!!! About 15 inches off & the shortest it has ever been. Not sure it is exactly LB but short! The stylist didnt know who she was, if you can imagine that one. I was ready for something different & have never had short hair.. my whole life has been long. With all the curl I have it will be a continual effort to keep it smooth like Lauras.. most of the time it will be a curly mop top I am sure. (easy for lazy me) Will post some pix in near future.
I thought I remembered you saying that you were going to the Gathering of Eagles in DC. Godspeed and success of mission. I would love to be there! I know that the ones that I know who are going will ping me with news about what is happening.
Can hardly wait to see your new Laura-look!
