Fair warning

Since I am such a nag to my friends when they neglect to post for days (or weeks) on end, I thought I'd better give fair warning just in case I disappear for a few days... Abigail and I are currently sick with some lovely cold virus that is making the rounds, so I haven't felt like doing much today. If we recover sufficiently from that, our church is having Bible conference this week (M/T/W nights), so we will be busy all day getting our usual stuff done and then napping in preparation for the evenings' activities, as well as hosting guests for dinner on Wednesday before the service. Thursday is ladies' Bible study (whoops! I need to remember to make muffins to take for that) and a medical appt, and then on Friday the kids and I leave for a mini-visit to Florida; we will spend Friday night and Saturday with my brothers in Ocala and then mosey on up to spend a few days at my parents' in Lake Como (see if you can find that one on a map!). Between now and then, I need to do the usual...school, laundry, pack, clean, pay the bills, make reservations for the dog to board when Bruce goes on a business trip while I am gone, try to make sure some meals are in order for Bruce for the days that he's here and I'm not, get groceries for him and for our trip, and (with Bruce) decide what to do about our furnace, whose motor has decided to retire itself...etc etc. You all know how it is -- but the insanity of preparing for a trip is worth it once you get to the destination! All that to say that I may or may not find time to post over the next week...but if I can't, I will resume as soon as I am able!
