Lot of stuff happened in the past week or so. I was alone for a few days and headed up to Michigan... ..again...last Thursday. I made the trip alone in 11 hours and 47 minutes (as opposed to 14 1/2 hours with a pregnant woman, her mother, and a flat tire) but that kinda sounds like a Jeff Foxworthy joke. Reference his first album. Anyway, Beth had a baby shower last week and we got a whole bunch of stuff for the wee one. Our neice Stephanie got married on the 29th, and nobody got into their luggage, due to betrayal by insiders. I never would have suspected Marve to turn to the dark side. We were prepared (4 boxes of minute rice and 2 BIG bags of bean bag chair stuff) but their luggage was in the Jeep, which was hidden at an undisclosed location that Marve knew and wouldn't tell. The wedding itself was really nice, and the reception was a lot of fun. The next day we drove back down here (13 hours 20 minutes with a dinner stop) and that's it. No more travelling until...well, maybe ever. Beth is just beat, and the doctor told her today to stay put and rest. Fine with her. Me too.
