Road Trip

I'm off tomorrow morning to beautiful Canmore, Alberta, Canada.

I'm going to go hang out with Corey and be available to her family in whatever way I'm needed.

We will probably go up to her folks' house on Monday to check in on them and see if there's anything we can do to help Kaye manage. Charlie went home a couple of days ago and is trying to settle in to his post-heart-attack self. It's hard. Maybe we can encourage them - pray that we can.

Tuesday is Corey's birthday.

We haven't been together on either of our birthdays for years and years and years.

It will be good to see her.

Good to talk.

Good to renew.

I'll be back late Wednesday.

I'm driving.

So if you think of me, say a prayer for safe travel and clear roads - I've gotta cross the Canadian Rockies...

Could you think of a better time of year to drive through the Rockies? I can't.

Oh - and pray for Asia and the kids. They manage just fine without me, but it never hurts to pray.

I'm not taking my computer, so I'll be out of touch 'til Thursday.

Cheers, friends.

Smooch you all.

    Asia, Lorraine is gone this week too. To bad we don't live closer, we could whip up a big batch of mac & cheese and feed the whole gang. Oh well. Try not to burn too much.

    Oh, and Ug, I know you'll drive safe. Enjoy your trip and we will pray for the safety from those crazy drivers around you and for good weather, and no mechanical issues.

    Cathy,
    enjoy your time in Canada! I drove through the Rockies about two weeks ago, and they were beautiful. I think I did the same sort of trip as you - one to hang with an old and dear friend! Say hi to Corey for me, and let her know I've been praying for them!

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
