Day 11 of our vacation

We are now 11 days into our vacation with my Mom in Illinois. Time has flown by so fast. I can't believe it is almost time to pack it back up and go back home.

Being away from Greg this long has been challenging, especially for Shelly. The past couple of nights for us have been rough. She cries herself to sleep and has been having terrible stomach aches. She is ready to go home.

We have found a new discovery on my laptop. I have a new program called SlingPlayer. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a program that reads another computer's cable (if the computer is tied to a cable modem). Here is the cool thing, Shelly and I have been watching our local tv stations. Being so far out of town, my mom only has local stations. No cable. For Shelly, that has been killing her. No Disney. No Cartoon network!! As of last night, we successfully installed the program and we are off and running. Right now as I type, I am watching the Weather Channel (our local weather). How cool is that!

We only have another couple of fun filled days left. Today we are going to some jewelry party. I can't spell it so I won't even try. I guess this is a popular thing to do. Tomorrow we will go to church with mom, then to our uncle's for dinner. Monday my Mom goes back to work so Shelly and I will visit with friends and pack. We went yard saling yesterday and bought so much junk that I have a big box to ship home on Monday. Isn't that sad???? The airlines have restricted so much of what we can pack now. Oh well....
