Adventure to Kansas City KS


   Spring Break!

   I have to work! Bummer!!

    My co-worker said if I wanted to go see my grandsons, he can handle things. I didn't need to be told twice. I grabbed my pre-packed bag, threw it in the back of my SUV, filled with no ethanol gas and hit the road. 

   I called my daughter on the way. I'm coming up for the week-end. 

   I knew she'd be so thrilled to have her mom come visit... NOT. 

   Yeah I forgot, she works full time and the house with two boys, three counting the kid she is married to... She'd have liked a little more notice than "I'm on my way."

   I said do not worry about your house. I am coming to see you and the boys! She breathed a sigh of relief, especially after I told her, I left my house needing a good tidying.  She asked about my housekeeper, Allison doesn't live with me, and I haven't wanted to do more than grab take out and toss my fork in the sink. (I am the dishwasher, as I don't have one of those nice gadgets.)  

     A trip through the car wash, OnStar called you really need to set this up. How did they know I am on my very first adventure? They ARE listening. lol.  I now have 3 months of free OnStar, they are traveling with me.

   Fiddling with the radio, I felt the wheel gently put me back on the road.. nice. I really like that feature.  Someone passed me and cut in a little too close, my car braked to make a gap. Impressive. The dealer said 32 MPG average. I figured I could get 36 with the better gas... I got into KC and my computer said 40 mpg was my average!! I'm impressed.

     SIL didn't want to go out. the boys wanted Cheesecake Factory. He ordered home delivery. (I'm still learning about all these new services people provide.) $200.00 for 5 people... and we are NOT in Vegas! SIL dropped the cheese cakes and drinks, and the bill dropped 100.00 dollars. 

    Rowdy #2 came in this morning. "Yeah a free day with no adults!" (Wait what am I?)

    Rowdy #1 already had his shower without begging. 

    They are ready for an adventure. We went to get donuts. I told them they could each have two. They did not tell me, one is the size of a small truck wheel.

     Mom came home, "How much sugar did you have?" 

   How did she know? It could not be, because his eyes were spinning from so much sugar, and he was bouncing like a kangaroo on crack.

Unrestrained Travis

                                                       Unrestrained Travis    My brother Travis came to visit,  the same week, my mother-in-law passed away.    Perfect time for my kids to get to see Uncle Travis.    The morning of the funeral, we went to breakfast, Travis, my son, Montana,  daughter, son- in- law, grandsons and sister.    We googled a good place to eat near me. The Apple Barrel came up. 4.7 stars. That was the highest rated place with good friendly staff.   We are all dressed like we’re going to a funeral or maybe we’re a new band in town who knows?    “Travis, just behave for today.”   “I’ll try, but I’m not making any promises.”    Our family tries to be serious at a funeral.. We fail a lot.    My brother-in-law passed away a month ago. At th...

Really Just TWO?

 Camping is the life especially when I am the guest and others are responsible for all the work.    We woke up to the sound of a high wind rocking the camper, then a huge crash! We left the awning up.      No reason to take it down, it was a beautiful balmy summer evening, so hot we hated to abide by the no generators after eleven pm.  We suffered in... not silence as we all sweated and flopped around to get more comfortable.       Finally a bit of  relief as the wind quickly cooled everything down, then the huge crash! Oh no!    The Awning pole is bent just a little.  Pam's  #4 son quickly helped us get it down. May as well stay up we are all drenched from the sudden rain.     Sweet  son #4 so thoughtful and kind brought us milk and cereal for breakfast. No bowls, oops. He found a huge fruit bowl. I said I can eat out of  a coffee filter.  I truly thought he was going to share as I ...

Bob (I mean Rowdy #2)

I love my grandsons . Sometimes I have to make difficult decisions, watch a movie with my daughter or play a game with the grandsons. The grandsons win every time of course.  We were playing Sequence, Rowdy #2 was bored and distracted by the third turn. I said hey Jimmy, John, Joe (the list of names when we can't think of the right one.)  "Just call me Bob." Rowdy #2 said and laughed.  Bob it is!  After he quit the game, we continued to call him Bob . It was no longer funny to Rowdy #2, he asked us politely to stop, "that isn't my name."   "Sure we will... Bob!" There may have been a little bit of wine involved, (who am I kidding, there was a lot of wine involved.)  We went a little too far calling him Bob . Upset, Rowdy #2 flew up stairs to get away for a bit.  I really felt bad, this is my grandbaby, he may be 13 years old, but he is precious to me. I went upstairs, knocked on his door and asked to come in so I can apologize . In the ...
