Preparations

I’ve got lists upon lists. A list of things I have to do today.

A list of things I have to do tomorrow.

Lynne Robinson, Hewitt, New Jersey

A list of all the dog and cat needs for the road. (Water, food, crates, crate pads, sun screens for the crates, water buckets, toys and chewies, leashes, poop scoop bags, dog food bowls, cat litter box, cat box liners (for easy clean up in motel rooms), cat litter, litter scoop, cat food bowls, water bowl, old sheets for protecting motel bedspreads, old towels in case of accidents or muddy feet, flashlight for walking dogs after dark. I’m sure I am leaving out something but, well, you get the idea. We are old dog show people so we are used to the drill.

A list of what to remember to take with us.

A list of things we need to turn off or on before leaving the house.

Little piles stacked here and there of things I want to go to the cabin. Books, magazines, and puzzles. Embroidery project. Big road map atlas. Game Cube games. A few movies. Some things we found while cleaning out the upstairs hall closet that really belong at the cabin and not here. All my camera gear. Rick’s fancy camera gear borrowed from work. The video camera and all its components.

The kitchen sink ... (just kidding!)

Maybe we need something bigger than our Suburban with the pod on top??

Next entry: Westward ho!

About

Welcome, I'm Lynne. You know me better as a 'new' Jersey Girl. But now I've moved once again, this time to North Carolina. Here I write about my thoughts, good food, and of course, dogs.
