Spring break!!!! Haven't had one of those since I was a kid. What am I going to do with myself for all that time off? CLEAN, CLEAN and CLEAN!!!! I think I will start with the living quarters of the house and get that done. Then, I have 2 attics stuffed full of stuff. Who knows what treasures I may find???? Jonathan has given me a list of things to watch for when I start on one attic.
I would like to eventually get to the garage. That is where the cool stuff is. The attic is full of stuff out there. I knew it would come to this one day. Gotta get it cleaned out. I would like to start keeping other stuff in there. Crap! I'm going to need one humongous dumpster!!!! haha
You know, as a child, we used to take trips on spring break. And on shut-down during summer break. My family loved to travel. It seemed that we went to Florida almost every year, maybe every other year. My grandparents lived in Crestview, Fl along with my aunt and uncle. We would stop and visit my aunt and uncle in Tennessee on the way down. Sometimes we would stop in Georgia and visit my other aunt and uncle. Mom always said she hated Georgia, cause it was so stinkin' hot! I remember mom would always be the one to tally the gas mileage when we would stop for gas. And there would be a quick conversation about whether this tank would get them where they wanted to stop next for gas. Silly memories....but good ones.
Travel, this year, at spring break will cost an arm and a leg, with gas pushing $4 a gallon. But, people keep on going. It doesn't seem to deter people from driving. Maybe they are consolidating their trips to include more things, instead of individual trips for each thing. Who knows? I just know that it is taking a bite out of my bank account, and I just don't like it. I try to shop locally more. Even though it is a higher price in my small town, I consider how much it cost to put gas in my tank to get to the bigger town.
Well, I think this is going to be one of my rambling posts. I had started out wanting to focus on spring break, but it kinda got away from me. SORRY!
Take your pick!
Have a beautiful Spring day!
