Well, it is Sunday night. The car is packed and the laundry and house are clean. Part of the fmamily has arrived in Minnesota already. My sister brought a crew in to help her get her new appliances in before the clan arrives. She deserves the new kitchen. She has gone with an u ndersized frig and broken stove and dishwasher long enough. I am glad she has the help and can't wait to see it on Wednesday.

Our trip will take us to Des Moines on Monday, a long day but lots of books on tape and videos to keep me occupied while Bob drives.
