TJ and Elsie

and Little Elsie
They will be setting off on their grand adventure on Thursday.
To say I am worried would be a great understatement.
They will be travelling for an awfully long time, cooped up in cat carriers.
From the time they leave home to get to the airport to the time we get them home here will be around 18 hours.
I do hope they arrive ok and are not distressed or sick.
We will be taking food, water, extra blankets, wipes etc with us so that we can get them out in the car to see if they want to eat or drink. We might also need to clean the carriers.
Poor little buggers will wonder what is going on.
I won't rest until I have them home and safe.
We didn't go to the fireworks for 4th of July celebration.
I don't know why really. We usually say we will go but then we can't be bothered.
I think it is because we are used to watching fireworks on cold, damp, foggy nights around a bonfire. We should also be sipping soup and burning our mouths trying to eat potatoes cooked in the fire.
It doesn't seem the same here, waiting for ages for it to get dark, sitting in a deckchair and swatting mosquitoes.
It is just what you are brought up with I suppose.
This year Donna and Lauren will be able to take part in Halloween and experience their first Thanksgiving.
I am looking forward to that.
They will also be here for the run up to Christmas. They have been here for Christmas quite a few times but never experienced the anticipation, which I like better than the actual event.
They will also experience a full blown Milwaukee winter.
Oh they have been here before in the snow, but only for a couple of weeks at a time. This time they will find out what it is like to have the cold, snow and ice from November to about April.
Ha ha....Donna may wax lyrical about the lovely snow now but let's see how much she likes it when Christmas is over (looks pretty up until then) and it doesn't know when to stop.
At least she will have Alan here to help shovel for a few weeks after Christmas.
He seems to enjoy it.
