Was a great trip. My sister Corinne went with me, 3 pugs too, Lily, Gus & Wesley. My car looks like a pug exploded in it...must get it cleaned tomorrow . The Faire got canceled at the last minet (can't spell) due to one small minded woman who didn't want us strange people near her property. I mean really if the loacl cops were gonna donate their time, & we were generating jobs, & bringing in money to a very small & poor county what was her issue??? I did make enough money reading cards for other clients to get home (thank gods) & got to see most of my friends, meet my oldest brother, & ever visited (nicely) with my youngest, yes I know shocking ain't it.
Jay (youngest) hasn't talked to me politely since dad died (20 years), & he was the one who wanted to see Corinne & I. To say I was skeptical is an understatement, but I went, mostly cause Corinne begged nice. Jay seems (I said seems, Chris) to have mellowed. I still don't trust the rat but we'll see how it goes. He even said he wants to met the family of my heart, can you imagine that, Jay, wanting to met all of you. We talked about the past & our memories & Mom & Dad, growing up in Alaska, & the homestead, about the family & even how Mom ran it & still tries to. He said that she still tries to tell him who he can & can't have in his life, but that meeting Corinne & talking with Bobbie Jo made him really think about all that, & how as an adult it should be about what he wants not what she wants. Kinda deep for Jay, may be there is hope for him yet.
Got to spend time with my extended family, Amy & the Knights, that was really great. I haven't been in Wash in almost 2 years so was a lot of catching up to do. Had the Pug family reuniuon, Lily was NOT happy but the puppies loved it LOL. She was not the center of attention till they went home with Amy & Doc. Once the pups were gone she was more than happy.... Will post a pic once I get them down loaded. Phil had just got back from Tibet, & brought me back a great present...a rock from Mt Everest. I think that's one of the best presents I ever got. Althought I gotta wonder what the hell he was doing thinking of me at the top of the mountain.....
Rain the whole time we where there I kinda hate that state after Sept. & really have to remember that....Gt home late last night & was ever so glad to see the lights of Phoenix.....YAHOOO I'm home. Lots more happened but am still to tired to think straight. LOL
Hope everyone had a good week while I was gone.
