Totally taaaaaaahred. I rode/drove in big pickup truck over bumpety roads for 8 hours yesterday. I'm glad I'm not the one going canoeing; it was cold up there.
You do live in a strange country, Sugar. Although part of it appeals to me, must be the German ancestry in me: I wish they would tell us things, like what the kids will need, ahead of time, instead of making us guess like they do here.
DH actually got out the lawn mower today and mowed the lawn. Well, he mowed about 2/5 of it. Then he went to a Dr's appt... Now we have a split level lawn.
