Travel Tuesday

Travel wise--there's a lot going on. But---none of it involves me!! Yay! I'm happy to stay home for awhile. Let's start with this: 

CMA Fest 2024 is officially over. Most locals know to avoid downtown during this time. I think it's pretty exciting and love that so many fans come to town and spend a lot of money! A! Lot! Welcome and goodbye! Thanks for coming!

By the time you are reading this, Butch and Mindy are on their way to Guatemala. I've told Butch that I do not want to go anywhere in South American, I don't want to go to any more brown countries or brown states. I'm sticking to it. He was going to go by himself--which made me feel a little bad, but not bad enough to go with him. Then, Mindy said she'd like to go. Great! They will have a good time and I won't feel bad. 

Wednesday starts Camp Aunt Barb. A few months ago, the "littles" who aren't so little anymore--texted me to see if they could come an extra day this year. Considering the oldest ones are going in to the 7th grade, I can't believe they still want to come. I've always said that I'll keep having them as long as they want to come. But, since they are coming for an extra day this year, that means that I'll only get one day to myself after Butch leaves before the chaos begins! One thing is for sure---I won't get lonely! Another thing I know about CAB is that I'm excited to have the come and then I'm excited to have them go home!

Everything down to the last detail is planned! The itinerary will be posted on the refrigerator when they arrive.
