This morning, DH and I joined 3 other members of DD's train club to set up our O scale stuff for National Train Day in Toledo, which is tomorrow. The Heritage Train is here and DD is miserable because we won't take him to see it tonight. One of the reasons for that is that there's a Train Club business meeting tonight. Should be pretty short, I hope.
So tomorrow, we get down to the Toledo Terminal Train Station bright and early. It's a really cool art deco station, by the way.
{{Insert pics here.... oh, Blogspot is having a little hissy and won't load pic for me.....}}
Then DH and DD will stay at the station, and I'll head over to the world class Toledo Museum of Art for the dedication of the Ohio Historical marker, commemorating the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouting. There will be blah blah blah speeches, a couple of troops will sing songs, then we'll 're-enact' a photo that was taken of Scouts on the Museum steps. Cool. I'm pretty sure I'm going to wear my badge sash.....
Then we troop inside and spend the night in the museum!!! The last I heard there were 1500 girls and several hundred adults signed up, including yours truly. This is quite literally a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm pretty sure we don't get to sleep in the Cloister or with the mummies....
After staying up most of the night, and sleeping on the floor--something I never do any more--I'll come home and pack the trailer. Oh, and I'll have to put away the train stuff we got out for the display downtown, too. We've told friends to come over Sunday after 4 for a BYOEverything cookout.
I will hopefully sleep like a log Sunday night, get up Monday morning and send my youngest child off to his last day at the Anthony Wayne High School, go to the ankle doc's at lunch time, pick up said child at school, come home, put suitcase and backpack in the car, and will maybe be able to sleep.....
Tuesday, I put my middle child on the bus at 6:35 a.m., and leave sometime after that with youngest for a 4 month sojourn to the west and work.
So I'm sitting around blogging and playing online Scrabble.
The thing that takes a back seat in the summer is blogging. I'll be reading yours as often as I can get to a computer, and maybe even once in a while I'll drop you a line. I'll still be on FB, usually every day, and of course there's the old fashioned method of communication:

It's been a wonderful ride with you all so far. Thanks for coming along.
