I don’t what happens, but every year, usually in the July time, frame I get behind on reading the posts by people I follow and my own posts become rather haphazard. I made it until August this year before this happened. (Go, me!๐) I’m actually just getting back into the swing of things so some of y’all are going to start seeing likes and comments on older posts.
August seemed to turn into a circular discussion on the following:
- Are we going on a road trip this year?
- If so, are we going to stick to the route we’ve already discussed or change it up?
- If we stick to the route we’ve been discussing, do we want to add any additional stops to what we already have planned?
When it comes to these types of discussions, we can absolutely beat the topic to death. Discussions seem to come to an end when I reach the point where I just really don’t care any more, LOL. So, what did we decide?
- We did go on a trip.
- We stuck to the route we had already discussed.
- We only added one or two stops at kitschy roadside attractions and those were added on the fly.

We’ve now been home for a week and are starting to get back into the swing of things. We’ve caught up on sleep and laundry and consoling the cats, now I’m getting back into the routine tasks like vacuuming, dusting, etc. We got home just in time for the government shutdown so Kenn hasn’t been able to go back to his part-time job yet.
I’ll be posting more about our travels over the coming weeks. Now, it’s time to go scoop litterboxes. Whoo hoo! (I miss our cats dreadfully while we’re gone. I do not miss scooping poop.)
What’s new with you?
Same with the cats vs. scooping. Can’t wait to hear about your trip!

Oh fun! Iโm looking forward to reading about your trip!
We just got back from vacation too. We spent nearly a week in Monterey, CA. Iโm still working on laundry catch up. Most of the food is out of the trailer at least. Ha! We use a โself cleaningโ litter box when we vacation and my tween/teens are in charge of the poop scooping. ๐

We’ve always had a “rotation” for litterbox scooping. It was better when the boys were still at home. Now its just me and Kenn.

That’s a beautiful shot of the turquoise water and rolling waves at Lake Superior – you two have perfected the selfie. I remember you did a post before about practicing (a lot) to get the desired effect. I have never taken a selfie.
