Finished. I think the title is State Fair. It was a challenge, but a fun one. One piece is missing and I’m sure that’s because I dropped it.
Today is all about getting ready for my journey to Rochester tomorrow. Filling up the car with gas, air in the tires, stopping at the store for a few things, printing out necessary information – that kind of thing.
It’s around 267 miles from my house to Rochester.
I don’t have one of the newer cars that’s has GPS and a screen built into the dashboard. My car is 10 years old. So I have to do it through my phone, which can be tricky. When I was commuting back and forth to the set last year, sometimes I’d lose the sound of the voice telling me when to turn. It drove me crazy, so that’s what worries me, because the directions are a bit complicated.
Should be a piece of cake next week when I repeat the trip, it’s just the first time out that’s a challenge.
I have to make sure I get there early enough to take a Covid test. Refreshingly, this theater requires masks. I love that.
I know this is short, but I’ve got a lot on my mind, so I have to focus on getting ready.
Stay safe.
See you on Monday.
Happy Friday.
Happy trails!! So glad it sounds like you’re enjoying work.
I am, but I’m not. Push/pull.
Stay safe, Nora.
What a difficult puzzle to do! Congrats on finishing!
I head out today to visit my oldest grandkids and their Dad in northern Wisconsin. Should be a 2 and 1/2 hour drive to and from with a 4 hour visit with them so it will be a full day for me. Can’t wait to see them as I haven’t seen them since April!
Safe travels to both of us, Claudia!
Enjoy your visit, Ellen!
Stay safe.
It’s old fashioned now but I print out directions from free Mapquest,com. When I’m in an area without cellular coverage I use the paper directions.
Have a great time coaching and stay safe!
I do that, too. I’ll have both options.
Thanks so much, Betsy.
Stay safe.
Safe trip
Prayers
I have that in my car and on phone but I still like the one where I look up driving directions and it gives me in print
I do not like listening to that voice when traveling lol
I drove the 350 miles from Indy to home every three months when I was in Indy
Doctors and tests and friends
My daughter and I drove the 1000 here
However I do not like to even drive to airport here so we all use Uber
30 minutes
I stopped liking driving when I moved to Florida
First time always anxious trip
Could Don go with you?
Prayers friend
Love love puzzle
I print them out, too, so I have options.
Don has the Farmer’s Market on Sunday morning.
Thanks, Brenda.
Stay safe.
Safe travels and have a nice weekend!
Thank you Cathy!
Stay safe.
cute puzzle, even with a missing piece (took me a few moments to find the spot).
prayers said for your getting the prep work done soon so you can relax at home, then enjoy the drives to and from rochester, the work itself and some time at a very big lake this weekend.
stay safe.

ps … one thing i collect, right or wrong, is a small jar of water when i get to big, famous or unusual water (oceans, lakes, a glacier …). sometimes a bit of sand or a teeny shell gets in there, too. usually i get the sample and transport it in an empty jar, then transfer it at home into a small white-lidded spice jar (i get them at a world market store) and tape on a little label that says where it’s from. can seal the lid with wax, too. and that not-very-big-but-i’m-still-grateful collection makes me smile when i see it.
Thank you so much, Kathy.
Stay safe.
Good luck on your drive to Rochester. My car is 9 years old and I think the year they just started putting GPS. I still don’t like using it. The dash is much too complicated for my taste. I miss my VW Beetle that was so easy. My kids wanted me in a safer car so off it went. Still waiting to hear when I am scheduled for my heart procedure. Just want to get it over with. Enjoy your drive. Take care!
Thinking of you Deb. Hang in there!
Stay safe.
Travel safe!
Thank you, Judy.
Stay safe!
I hope the trip goes smoothly and you find the work rewarding. I know you’ll be glad to be back home again afterwards.
Happy to go, even happier to come back home.
Thanks, Linda.
Stay safe.
Have a safe trip!
Safe travels, Claudia! Who will be babysitting the girls tomorrow?
Wonderful puzzle! And best wishes for a good, safe trip.
