Road Trip

Here is an assignment for all my faithful blog readers:

Keep your fingers/toes crossed, say a prayer to whomever and think good traveling thoughts for me. I'm leaving today to drive 700 miles to visit my dear ole dad for the weekend. I'm not giving him much notice other than sending him an email before I get on the road and this post, of course. I just hope he remembers and doesn't shoot me when I open his front door at whatever horrid time in the middle of the night I show up. My dad has quite a collection of guns, including a handgun by his bedside and a shotgun by the bedroom door. I've never worried about burglars when visiting my dad, but I'm always careful about surprising him. I'll be driving back on Monday, so I miss out on all the Halloween fun this year. Dress up, eat too much candy and send me pics with which to blackmail you!
