With only one month to go before we travel to the other end of the world, we decided to visit most of our eastern relatives one last time. The first place we traveled to was south-western VA to visit Cookie the dog and her family. We had such a good time, people forgot to take pictures. The only photos we had were of us playing Kubb. Kubb is the royal game of Sweden, much like Parcheesi is the royal game of India...
We are discussing when and where the loser will make the swedish meatballs! After that long trip, we spent the rest of the week catching up on our sleep...
Only a few days later, my dad took my brother and I to Northern VA. We rode on an airplane which was apropos since we were going to see Uncle B before he left for the Air Force. It is apropos to use apropos today, since it is the 342nd anniversary of it's first usage in Oct 1668 in the french newspaper La Fois! Uncle B had a major party that involved cake made by the former chef for the Kennedy Center of Washington DC! Here he is pictured with his cake...
But only a day or so later, it was time to say goodbye to Curly Sue and the others who lived in her four bedroom dog house!
After the long plane trip, all of our backs felt funny, so little JC lead us all in a yoga session.
Finally, who should visit us this past weekend, our last in C-Bus? Why that's Grandma L's theme song! She took us to the pumpkin patch....
JC and I both picked out a pumpkin, because my dad said "There's not enough water to grow even one pumpkin in New Mexico!" We plan on taking them across the country with us, and why not? We do have seven seats in our Swagger Wagon.
As some guy named Bill once said, "Parting is such sweet sorrow..." We hope to see all of you again sooner rather than later!

So, who made the Swedish meatballs?
So sad. I know this is a super stressful time. Do you know your travel route yet?
Looks like Indianapolis and OK City are on your way? Good luck guys! I don't know your exact departure date but I think it's somewhere around now. I'll be thinking of you!
Ack! What will be the bolg new name???
Love, Aunt JKC
No more Columbus Day in Columbus! Whatever will I do? We will miss being so close to you guys. Have a safe trip.
Love,
Gram
Come back to us! What does New Mexico have that we don't? No steady water source. No trees. No humidity. No giant statue of Columbus. No hellfire billboards on rural roads. (Well maybe they do have that. I've never been.)
"as some guy named Bill once said"... Oh, Brittany, where have you been all my life??
