An Emty House

It's so sad when you're house is suddenly empty after house guests. Well, maybe it's not sad if you don't like your house guests, but we've never had that sort :-) My little sis flew home yesterday morning and Jordan and I were in a funk the rest of the day. We're trying to remember what it is we do all day when we're on our own. When Karen was here, we had stuff planned every morning and evening and I had someone to play Scrabble and dominoes and watch Food Network with when Jo was asleep. It was a fun week.

But enough complaining. Tomorrow is Jamie's Friday due to the holiday, and we have another busy week ahead of us. Saturday we're having people over for a cookout and then we leave for Grand Canyon on Monday. I have done almost zero prep for this trip, which is very out of character for me. I'm actually looking forward to the road trip. I HATE road trips, but maybe that's from living in Texas for long. Road trips there are boring and tedious and you never seem to leave the state. I think the drive from here to GC will be very scenic and we have a stop planned at Petrified Forest. Let's hope there are no Griswold moments ;-)
