New Year

New Years' Eve found me packing and in bed by 10. Up early and packed truck to head to Charlotte, NC. Mike was already there from Christmas so I drove alone. On the road by 10 AM and arrived there at 5 PM. Smooth trip.

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Michael and Mikie's house and how they have made it a home.

Friday, Gwen and the kids arrived early and Mario came later in the day. Things really got hopping then, as only a 3 year old and an 18 month old and another dog can cause utter chaos. But fun chaos!!!

Saturday was the Barmitzvah and a good time was had by all.

Sunday, Mike and I packed up and came home to give M & M a chance to relax before work on Monday. The trip took me from 11 till 7. I stopped 5 times for gas, to pee or just to stretch. Still can't figure out how it took so long. One of life's little puzzlements.

It was a wonderful way to spend the weekend and get to visit everyone again. I miss seeing them but it's my fault for not going more often. Will have to change that this year.
