Today is Friday, January 30, 2009-- I have dug out all my clothes to take on the journey--- I have to remember to keep the clothes baskets and suitcases closed, because Trittie,( the Jack Russell dog), thinks it's great fun to PEE in piles of clothes. She follows me around all day long, as I trip over her and step on her paws--- I 'm sure she knows something's up!-- They are going to stay with Uncle Vet (Miss Daisy's bro) for the duration.
My morning started with a daybreak trip to Sams Club for much needed necessities--- some MORE flashlites, batteries, rolling coolers, toilet paper, books, dvd's, a copier, scanner, drill/screwdrivers, prosciutto, paper towels, 700 bottles of water and a receipt 24 inches long!!!--
Miss Daisy ( aka, Joe) leaves me notes each morning telling me I need to wear a helmet if I cross the mojave desert 'cause the military uses it for target practice , and to get LIFE jackets in case we cross somewhere where there may be a flash flood, and we should " pick up" a rifle in VEGAS to shoot the coyotes who may swarm us if we become stranded ( from the flash flood, or the target situation)--- so now, picture it, ---Sue and I standing on the roof of my white jeep, wearing our big puffly orange lifejackets, wearing helmets and assuming our defensive positions against the coyote invasion with our rifles--
Sue, in all seriousness, fretted that she didn't want scorpions to "get us"
"Where, pray tell, are we gonna get scorpions?"--Maybe I should take one of the grands' bug boxes to collect them in?
So, tomorrow will be a hectic day, getting it all to come together--- we postponed the trip one day so we could go to the superbowl party at my daughter's house.--Oh dear, Miss Daisy has just thought of another drama-- we should get a LEAD vest when we cross the desert (where they did all those atomic testings back in John Waynes day) to protect ourselves---
signing off for tonight---
