Default Leavin' on a Jet Plane . . .
" . . .All my bags are packed I'm ready to go . . "

I'm ready for vacation #2 of this summer. Two vacations in 1 month is crazy! I haven't had a real vacation in years and years. All of sudden, 2 in 1 month. I guess that is the benefit of having an empty nest.

I spent a week up in the Colorado mountains and loved it. There is nothing better than having a cup of coffee looking out at all the wildlife, mainly deer, and the scenery - beautiful flowers and greenery. Oh, and enjoying the cool weather.

This time I am heading off to the cool weather in the Pacific Northwest to visit my family. This is the 1st vacation that I have ever taken by myself and I am looking forward to that. It will be nice to be around my brothers and sister as well as their spouses and kids. I will spend a little time with each of them. My SIL is one of my best friends. She and I were roommates and both in nursing school at the same time. She married my brother. How cool is that!

These 2 vacations were/are very much needed as when I get back, things will be rough. As some of you know, my dad is real ill and it doesn't look promising at all. Hence, the reason I have been somewhat MIA lately. These vacations are great as they will create these great memories so I can use them as mini mental vacations while being with my parents during my dad's treatments (what ever treatments he decides to do, if any at all).

Saturday I will be off on that jet plane with good ol' John Denver singing in my head . . "I'm leavin' on a jet plane." (I so thought I was going to marry him as a little girl). HAHAHA

Have fun with your sibs, my twisted sistah! Vacations are always good for the soul.
Sorry to hear about your Dad, my thoughts are with you.

Have a wonderful vacation, Tricia. I pray for your Dad every day. It's so hard to watch our parents age and decline.

Enjoy the cooler weather. Wish you could bring some of it back with you. Be safe and we'll be right here when you get back.
