Sharon, can you watch the cats while I'm out of town? Shouldn't be more than two weeks.

Everyone else, you know the drill. If you want tchotchkes from my trip, lmk. I'll be in Wisconsin and Vegas at minimum.

Yes, I can ship you the good cheese. Yes, I will be happy to take pictures of the Elvis impersonators. And the Dolly ones. No, I cannot ship you a showgirl - but if you ask nicely and provide measurements (plus pay for it, rhinestones and feathers aren't cheap and I'm not rich) I will order you a custom costume AND pick it up for delivery once it's finished.

Grab me some random snacks.

Standing order of weird but tasty, gotcha.

And hey, you get several hovering free days out of it too! 😉

Of course. I always love watching my perfect children.

I understand Vegas, but what is there in Wisconsin?

[xp_darcy]

Family. Gran isn't getting any younger, and I haven't been able to go back for several years. Things kept coming up.

Don't want to completely miss the time she has left.

[xp_catseye]

Yes. Family is important.

You would probably like the farm, we have barn cats. I'll send you pics of them, Bitsy had a litter a few months ago and they're tiny little bits of fluff and claws.

Oh man, if you can find that one roadside stand we hit on the RV road trip, the one with all the crazy almond flavors, buy their entire stock of funnel cake flavor, because holy crap.

Also goes without saying but travel safe and I'll miss you.

I don't like driving enough to do cross country alone, so I doubt I'll see it.

[xp_cypher]

Good point - I dunno why my brain went to road trip immediately, maybe the multiple stops.

Either way, hope it's a good trip.

[xp_darcy]

Probably that, maybe because if I remember right that roadside stand was just the other side of the Nevada border?

I hope it is too. Feel free to text or video call.
