Dolly Parton's Stampede

 This wasn't as good as I thought it'd be especially the very meh metal. But I loved the horses! The nativity was better than I thought it'd be and the production values are great except for costumes.

Vacation!

We're headed for the Smokey mountains! It's a trip with a lot of firsts: first trip to there, first trip with mojo, and our first trip without Elphie. My sweet Elphie. I miss you so much.

It's also the first trip in this car: John's Toyota Rav 4. Someone did a hit and run on John last night. Thankfully, John's fine and the car has cosmetic damage, same kind as mine

So here's hoping for a wonderful trip!

Look how dark the sky is in Philadelphia!

Daytona is sitting up front, just the guys being guys:

I need to get to the shore

I need to recharge there, get out, see the important three: ocean, seagulls, and boardwalk.

But I have too much to do at home. The endless balance of life and in a ways work.
