Get your motor running

I have been restlessly pacing my home like a caged wild animal for over a year. This is not a good thing for someone with a serious traveling jones. Finally I am going to head out on the highway.

Tomorrow I will be packing up the hounds, dropping them off at a friend's house almost an hour away, then going over the Blue Water bridge into Canada and on to Toronto. One of the few places even colder than Michigan. I will try not to panic on the bridge. I will be looking for adventure.

There will be no bees/wasps/hornets/WTFs, no poison ivy, no weeds, and no crabby old cats begging to be groomed. It will be a city of fun and joy. I will sleep in a strange bed as late as I want, I will go out and see the sights without worrying about the dogs and their little schedules. I will walk without anything tugging on a leash.  I will delight in whatever comes my way.

I will see things I have never seen before, eat in new restaurants, and will revel in the differentness of the whole city. That means I will get lost a lot. I have no sense of direction whatsoever. I try, but it's a lost cause. Pun intended. Everything is always new to me, since I don't remember how I got there in the first place.

As always before a trip, I am all scattered, trying to get everything done before I go. Everyone stay out of trouble until I get back!

I am the one with a memory problem!  My name is Kas.  My homeschool is Hestia Homeschool.  hestia was the Greek goddess of hearth and home, and a friend once jokingly called me the Goddess of homeschooling...thus the name. :-)
Have a great time in Canada!

I am glad you are taking a trip and getting away from the stinger bugs and posion ivy.  I have been to Toronto, but that was way back in the 70s and I still remember it as a very beautiful city.
