Prelude to another road trip...

Well, technically I guess this isn't really a prelude since I'm writing it five days after the fact. And it wasn't just any old road trip either -- it was the first of our "Grandma/grandpa Road Trips." This was to be the first trip to see our grandson (two weeks old), but as excited as we were we were really concerned about Bailey's health and her being in the spa for 10 days.

This one was starting off pretty well though, because the owners of the"spa" (that's what we call the kennel so Bailey doesn't get too upset at not going with us) know how to take care of dogs with diabetes and don't charge any extra to give the insulin shots and do all the extra stuff that she would require.

It was after dinner, I was finishing the yard work and putting all of the patio stuff in the barn, when Pam told me she was taking Bailey to the spa. Bailey is always happy to be going for a ride and looked to be in good health, so I wasn't too worried about her at that point. However when Pam got back home, I knew everything was going to be good about this trip when I saw the sunset.

The next morning we were off and the first G&G Road Trip was underway...10 days of New York, seeing our son and daughter-in-law, and baby Quinn. Doesn't get much better than that, folks.
