Lesson 586: 767

Hello, Readers.

Eloise is a day late,

and $500 dollars short 

in the posting of this blog.

I could blame the weather.

Last weekend we were all praying 

for the snow to stop.

The robins were hanging out on the bare spots

on the road,

confused.

It's OK, Momma Robin.

Donkey is still trying to figure it all out, too.

By midweek,

the sun came out.

We are happy that Grandpa has a brand new knee!

Things were looking up!

Even the flowers were trying to fight their way to life.

Once everything was stable at the Lamp Post,

Eloise and sister Kenyan 

headed out on a 28 hour,

767 mile adventure.

Traveling with my sister 

is an continuous string of emotion,

due to a combination of

sugar consumption

and road rage.

We passed beautiful farms as we traveled

through our great state of Pennsylvania.

The bare trees moved from buds

 to blossoms.

We snagged Ellen Louise

from her class trip to Washington DC.

We brought her to Pittsburgh early Saturday morning

for an interview for a scholarship.

She's down to the final 6!

We snagged Cousin Jack from Duquesne

and made good on our ball team promise from last year.

We loved No Off Season in Tarentum, PA

so much,

we gave it another go 

for the season opening tournament this year.

The boys started off the weekend with back to back wins!

It doesn't surprise Eloise at all.

I went for a walk with my best friend

 earlier this week

and we spied the team practicing.

Eloise has to go reattach her head 

to her body

because it spun off.

Rest is desperately needed 

before round 3 of the weekend warpath.

After tomorrow's trip

the weekend total mileage will be

1,067!

Eloise
