Heather and I leave for Florida on Saturday morning! We’ve had this planned for a long time and, aside from the stress of getting ready to go, are really looking forward to the time away. A quick four-day trip will be spend in the Orlando area visiting my grandparents and aunt, maybe a theme park or two, good food, and just enough relaxation to renew ourselves after the long couple of months we’ve had.

Upon returning, I’ll almost immediately be leaving again for Chippewa. Friday I’ll be seeing my old Chiropractor – my back has been out for weeks… a reoccurring injury from months ago. I should’ve been seeing someone for a long time now, years in fact, but I just haven’t. Saturday morning is my late Grandfather’s estate auction. My brother, sister and I will be there to try and make it a little easier on my mom. That afternoon, his house is being auctioned also… kind of sad.

On a real side note… Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been playing non-stop on HBO lately. I can’t stop watching it! I saw it in the theater and liked it (I was in love with the book when I was young) – but the more I watch it, the better it gets. It holds very true to the book, unlike the 70’s version (80’s maybe?). Anyway, check it out if you haven’t yet.

See you all in about 9 days.
