Big Plans

We are heading for the Rockies tomorrow. The Canadian Rockies, eh.

Yes, we're finally going on that much-needed vacation, and the only downside (other than the cost) is having to get up at 3:30am in order to make the early morning flight. We're looking forward to a week of scenic hikes, paddles, and drives within the four national parks that line the continental divide up in that neck of the woods: Banff, Yoho, Kootenay, and Jasper. Plus... hot springs!

Mom will be coming over to cat sit for the week, and she is bringing all of her little dogs. She reads this blog and the comments, so wish them all luck! Not sure who will have the hardest week -- the dogs, the cats, or Mom. Hopefully the house will survive and no one gets hurt.

I'm betting that if the cats don't just go into hiding and finally resurface about the time you will be getting back home, they will most likely just torment the living daylights out of your Mom's dogs! Cats do love to do that -most of the time anyway!
What a great vacation though -mountains, cooler air and beautiful scenery for your hikes. Travel safe and see you in a week -when you'll be all rested up and happy as all get out. Right?

Yay! Enjoy your much needed vacation. The cats will have the hardest time adjusting. But it's okay, that's what makes them cats. Good luck fermi's mom!

Hey Mom.

This is going way too quick, I met PDM on line a couple of weeks ago; he and Fermi eat at a restaurant I go to (Zuffies).

Given the wake up time, I hope the kids are in bed.

Talk to us.

GOOD luck to all and HAVE FUN to all (Including the dogs - you know they will need therapy when this is over)

yes, the cats will have issues but they're used to having issues, sometimes I think they thrive on issues

Hi Mom - have fun with all the critters :)

After all these months of working, I am getting a 4-day weekend. I'm just so freaking excited about not working for four nights in a row.

Hope you enjoy yourself. Oh, and I'm adding this to all my comments:

Hey, did you have become an e-mail subscriber to wwww.thriftybif.com? It would really be a great thing.
