That train ideal might be a good thing. I never thought of it to go back home.

I went to Ky. for 2 weeks this summer and flew down. Oh My GOD. I said I didn't want to ever fly again. The plane was so bumpy, I thought we were going down some of the Colorado roads, hitting all of the bumps.

There was an army guy sitting next to me and we talked a lot or I most likely would have looked for a parachute. When we landed, it didn't seem like he slowed down to land. I thought he was trying to stop on a dime.

I had a great time though back home. I actually got to go to my grade school reunion. There were people there up to 94 years old that had went to our little two room school house.

The weather was perfect the whole time. BUT, I got a virus the 2nd week and started having breathing problems. Different weather I guess.

I am planning on going back this year for my High School Reunion, the 40th.
I will either ride a train or drive.

Kids noises make me crazy too. I no longer let any other kids spend the night with the boys when they are here due to their hormones raging as teenagers.
