I'M LEAVING........ON A JET PLANE

Not really and I'll be back again. (song) sorry.....I do that all the time. Everything reminds me of music. We are driving....to Michigan next week for a vacation and to see relatives and attend a family reunion---Yacks/Ellsworth Reunion---my mom's side. There will be many of my 1st cousins who are near me in age and whom I grew up with there. My mom had 5 sisters and 1 brother so there are a lot of 1st cousins. It's amazing somewhat in today's age. My kids only had 5 1st cousins on one side and 8 on the other. Very small.

So we are getting ready, and doing chores......the usual. I actually "thought" about coloring my hair to look younger. But then I thought---oh, what to heck! I AM going to be 60 next month after all. sigh. So I didn't. Anyways dying my hair wouldn't hide all those extra pounds I'm packing....

I'll really miss Sherri and the kids though. That's the one thing I hate about being gone so long. It's nice now that Dean is retired that we don't HAVE to be in a hurry to get back, but then I miss those Karpo's so much.

Anyway, I won't be blogging til we get back----so hope everyone is enjoying summer. I was......until it got sooooooo HOT! Here's hoping we have a cool fall!!!
