Grand Canyon!

I promised a picture or two when I returned from the Grand Canyon! We had a great time and I wish I didn't have to get back to reality so soon. It's hard to get ready for a vacation - you know, getting someone to take care of the cats, doing enough laundry so that I can pack clean clothes, decided what books to take, unloading half of the makeup bag so that there's room for clothes in the suitcase, crossing fingers that the plants don't die while I'm gone, cleaning out the fridge so there are no surprises when I get home -- you know, all of that. And while I'm getting ready to go out of town I'm thinking it's too much trouble. But, then, when I finally go, it's so nice to not answer a phone, or water a plant or feed a cat (sorry kitties, but sometimes your meows can be annoying!) or make a bed or clean a bathtub. I'm really glad I left. I'm really glad I made it to the Grand Canyon because I had never seen it. And, oh yeah, we stopped by Vegas, too. Have I mentioned that I love playing black jack? Do you think it's all the extra oxygen they pump into the casinos? Can we go again now? Screw the plants, the cats, the fridge, the packing - let's just get in the car and go!
