miles to go.
I tried, really I did. But working, taking care of last minute crises, cleaning, preparing the pets and house for our departure, etc. took too long. We hit the road late. So late that it was the start of rush hour getting out of Atlanta. We pushed on through, but didn’t make it very far

Today is Chloe’s Birthday and Chocolate Day and Tell the Truth Day and Macaroni Day and National Strawberry Sundae Day and Global Forgiveness Day. Work all morning and into the afternoon. Chloe’s friends started to arrive at 1pm for her birthday party. In the end, five kids came. They went to the pool, had cake,
