Talked to Mustachio tonight and he's decided he's not going to join Cee and I on our trip to Chicago. Neither Cee or I can afford a motel for a week so he wants us to stay at his place for a couple days. He said he has a pool there for us to enjoy and he promised to feed us well. This means steaks since that's his favorite and he goes to this special upscale market to get his.
In reality, there's no reason we can't do that. Maybe just one day more than we planned. Then another day with Betty. That would mean we would get to Chicago on Thursday. That leaves us four days there with one day spent at the zoo. I tried calling Kay but had to leave a message on her phone to call me back. I'm not sure if she is staying with her daughter still who just had a baby on the second of this month. She usually stays the first two weeks. With all the places that she and her hubby have gone to this year (Mexico and Tahiti), I wasn't sure if she had any more vacation time left.
I may have to bite the bullet and pay for our motel if I can find one cheap enough. Oh well. C'est la vie. (NOTE: I found us a motel in Naperville that isn't too pricey and I can afford to pay for. It just means I have to be very very careful with what I spend. I reserved the room for Cee and me and I am relieved!) I understand why my son isn't going. He really needs the dental work done and doing it on his vacation time works perfectly for him. He was so torn about it but decided that he really didn't have any of our family that he was close to since my brother, Uncle Icky, died. He was close to him and talked to him often on the phone.
I'm going to check on motels after I finish this and see what I can find for the dates we would need it. It's only 10 days until we leave and I have never gone up there with no real destination before. It's kind of scary. I also have to call Cee and tell her about the change in plans. We shall see what we shall see.
The girls only laid six this morning and the Beast found two more this afternoon but one of them felt like rubber. He threw that one against the fence and the chickens all ran toward it and ate it all up. He said it was really weird how they fought over it. He's going to throw the shells I have saved and crushed up a bit to them tomorrow instead of the corn. The feed they are getting has calcium in it but I guess they need more, hence the shells that I saved. Lots of people who have chickens have told us to do that.
Well, time to get this posted and my butt to bed. Love you all. Remember to be kind...not always because someone deserves it but because it's a part of YOU. ***Hugs***
