Skip is in Poland for a couple of days and Mom and Dad get back from Ireland tomorrow. Their tour looks great. I think Skip and I may try to retrace their steps when we go over Spring Break. But first, we will be heading to Scotland on Saturday. I've got to root around for all our scarves and hats and gloves. Just a short drive north makes a big difference in the temperature.
On Sunday afternoon Maddie met up with her Girl Scout troop (the overseas division) at a farm to carve pumpkins Odds Farm. It was about a 45 minute drive from us, but quite the spot to pet animals, play on a giant playground and, of course, carve the pumpkins. I have had to spend way too much time in the car lately battling London traffic. Maddie's schoolmates are scattered far and wide, but even when they're close it can be rough. On Monday, Maddie had a friend come over after school and I took her home after dinner. It was dark and rainy and it took us 35 minutes to drive 2.5 miles. On the way home, traffic wasn't so bad, but while I was at a dead stop someone hit me from behind. It was pouring down rain and the end of day one of my headache, so I got out, looked at the car, didn't see any damage, and just got right back in my car and drove home. Am really homesick for the Little Rock traffic scene.
