I have been talked into Crystal Bridges

my girlfriends have talked me into a vacation
at Crystal Bridges in Arkansas, a four hour drive
I kept calling it Ruby Bridges, getting it mixed up with the book.
Three of us decided we need to go there to celebrate my retirement.

I chose the month – October.
There are now eight of us who want to go.
Some wanted to spend one night.
Four of us want to spend two nights.

I do not relish driving four hours two days in a row.
Driving is one of the main reason I decided to retire.
I will keep you posted, closer to October.
By then we might have to rent a party bus.

Caren, congratulations on your retirement. I am sure you will be missed. Now I know I'll never catch you. Ha! as if. Have a Great Day.
