The Big Adventure

Today Bill and Ted leave on their really big adventure. Karis sat on the bed last night while Grandma packed. She called me at one point to tell me she was fixing baggies of honey nut cheerios and goldfish for her Uncle Loren and Grandma for travel snacks. So, Butch and the Sundance Kid are taking the long way (that Dad would never take even though Mom always wanted to) to Arkansas to visit Ruth and see Elizabeth graduate Tuesday night. Then Wednesday morning, Thelma and Louise will hit the road for Idaho in order to catch Zane's graduation Saturday.

After that, the plans are a little murky. Mom wants to stay in Idaho for a week, then fly back home. Loren wants to keep her, well, forever I think. At least as long as she will stay.

Hospice called Friday to set up a meeting for Tuesday to talk about Mom's travel. I laughed and told the nice hospice worker that Mom would be long gone on Tuesday. She called Mom for the travel itinerary, hoping to find sister hospices along the way.

So, bon voyage, Bonnie and Clyde! May all your travel dreams come true. Vaya con dios.
