An Overview: From Now to the First Week of Ireland

An Overview: From Now to the First Week of Ireland

Abby Cakebread – August 10, 2014

Everyone (but Gimpy--aka Dad) has given their deep, insightful thoughts, on deep, insightful topics, such as Safeway isles and garbage disposals. Well, now it’s my turn. I am not going to go into the deep, dark, cobweb-y corners of my mind and write about my insightful epiphanies (walruses have tails!!!!) and ponder the questions of the universe (why is it geese and not gooses?). I am sticking with the facts, and I am creating an overview of the next few weeks, up to what the first week in Ireland will most likely look like. (But seriously, why not gooses? What’s with the English Language?) In an effort to inform myself and everyone else, I have tied my mother down with Styrofoam and surrounded her with outhouses. After a forceful interrogation, this is what I have gathered.

After spending today with Devan, Colleen and I are heading out to Grandma’s to kick off the SunRiver Kid’s Vacation and to avoid getting further limped on (cough, cough, Dad).  We will leave with Morgan, Jojo, Lessa, and perhaps Nick, on the 11^th. We will arrive back on the 14^th, just in time for my orthodontics appointment. Oh goodie. Then Dad’s birthday party will happen on the 15^th, details are still undecided (I will have to capture him as well, he still hasn’t told us what he wants). Then, we will chill at the RV Park until the 20^th.  From the park we will head out to Verboort to live with Tina for a while. Then, on the 24^th, we will leave Tina for Mommy the Second—Crystal—and then we will leave ‘Murica for Ireland the 26^th. (Just so you know, Ireland is 8 hours ahead of us, so if you want to talk to me at 9:00 am here, it will be 5:00 pm there.) When we touch down, we will head over to our fancy new one star hotel for a week, looking for a mobile home. They’re free! If you order in the next 5 minutes, we’ll add a donkey! If you order in the next 30 seconds, we’ll add shovels to dig your hole for your $80 shack outhouse! There’s no beating that! We will come back to ‘Murica, Land of the Burgers, on March 24! We’ll all have Irish accents, and we’ll be happy to see you all.
