I guess I'd better get a post out this week as we leave on Friday for Florida. I have been watching the weather channel and it looks like the rain is heading out of there so should be good by the time we arrive.

I called my travel agent to check on some seating issues and boy did she have a surprise for me! On the way down there is only a ten minute difference in our flight schedule but on the way back instead of leaving Orlando at 8 AM we leave at 6:15 which means we will have to be at the airport at 5ish, which means we leave the resort at 4:30 which means we get up at 3:30!!!!! Yikes and double yikes!! Now this wouldn't be so bad but we don't get home any earlier just a longer layover at our one stop........

I am not a happy camper. With three young ones it will be a long three hours in that airport. AND when were they going to tell us about these changes? Now I know we live on the edge of nowhere but we still do like to know what's going on. My travel agent tells me this happens all the time so I guess we have just been lucky that it hasn't happened before to this extent. Also our flights are all overbooked so we run the risk of getting bumped. Do you think they would let us sleep at the airport the night before????????

Tomorrow my boys go back to the stable for the winter. Once again I am not a happy camper. I miss them when they are not here, especially sitting on the sun porch and watching them graze in the pasture or taking treats like carrots and cucumbers out to them. It has to be this way due to zoning issues even though we have 400 acres, plus we travel more in the winter and it's hard to get someone to come in and take care of them. They have a nice place at the stable and two of them have been going there for 15 years. There are 6 others there including Lil' Bud, Funsize's Morgan.

I have been packing up their things today and putting them in the trailer and tomorrow morning Dad will help me hook up to the Tahoe and my friend Ann is coming to help me load them and unload at the stable. It's always a hard day but I can go up as often as I want and I sure won't miss feeding and all when it's -20* this winter!

I need to get packed but will probably do that on Thursday night. This is an easy trip to pack for as it's all casual, no dress clothes like on the conventions that we go to. With the washer and dryer in the condo we don't have to take as much and can also come home with clean clothes and not a suitcase full of dirty ones! You gotta love that!

Funsize is excited as she hasn't been to Dis*ney for about 15 years and a lot has changed since then. We will hit Universal again too as T and D loved it when we were there in May. We are staying at Old Key West this time. No more chances at a Universal resort of being put on the dog wing!! Being a member of the kennel club once was enough for me.

I have to go in and see my doctor tomorrow. My elbow where I took the fall off Lil'Bud is all swelled up again and seems to be full of fluid. I am envisioning a huge needle coming towards me tomorrow to drain it off...........aaaaaaaccccckkkkkkkk!

DIL, Mimi and I have all our things ready for the craft fair that's going to be held while we are gone. My sister J is going to man the table for us. Nothing like doing a craft fair and not even being there. When we get back we will have one week to finish up anything that we want done for the big fair. Funsize and I went to a big one at the University of Maine on Sunday afternoon after church. It was held in the field house and I couldn't tell you how many vendors were there, it was full! We did mostly looking and comparing prices of other peoples totes but did buy a couple of things. The new smokeless soy candles seem to be the thing now and we each got one and we always buy new catnip toys from our favorite organic catnip vendor.

We got home in time to get the barn cleaned again and spiffed up as we had about 30 children from our church Awana program coming for a hay ride, hike, story time, bonfire, food and song time. They all got to go in the barn and see the horses and then the hayride was pulled by Hubby on the John Deere. I loved watching them sing the Praise and Worship songs by the bonfire, wish I had gotten some pictures. What's wrong with me, I missed a blogging opportunity!!! :o( I think I must be slipping!

Guess that's it for tonight. Halloween will be here before you know it so watch out for all those friendly spooks!
