Shelter cat update -
Katie has been adopted. Clover is still hanging out. They are both so good. I'm sure Clover will get adopted - she's pretty low maintenance - loves to play though!

YEAH! BACK HOME! All in one piece - minus the tar.
I forgot to mention one other thing that happened on Friday. We stopped at the bagel shop on the way out of town, and as we're walking out, I'm getting my keys out and Dan's like "you looking for these?" and shows me some keys. I said "no". He's like - "These aren't your keys?" Image I'm like "no". So he runs back into the shop and takes the keys back to the register. He had thought I had left my keys on the counter! Image
A good thing that happened while we were in Hornell - we bought a digital camera! As soon as I load the software, I'll post the first pictures.
As for the trip, it went well. Helen was OK yesterday, and groggy today. She said she had just woken up when we stopped by to say bye.
Another thing that's happening right now is, I'm making some money on Ebay! I had some extra CDs and listed them - so far, I'm up to almost $100! WOO HOO!

Here we are - in Hornell - WHAT A DAY! It took us about 10 hours to get here - usually it's about 6 hours.
The drive was fine UNTIL we got to NY. We were driving through a construction zone and what happens - a dump truck driving the other way, threw tar all over the place and got all over the car - ours along with about 10 others.
It was the weirdest thing - at first it looked like smoke and then as it got closer, it looked like netting. Then it hit us - it's tar.
So, all of us stopped in the one lane road where the construction guys were and they sent us over to the construction trailer. We got there and the office took our names and numbers and said if you go over to Crane's Towing, they will get the tar off. Well, out of all of us, only two of us went over and did it (basically the people traveling). The others made appointments for next week. One guy said he was on his way to Toronto, so he would send them the bill.
Luckily, the place was only about a mile away and they got us right in. The car was done in about an hour/hour and a half and we were back on our way.
They did say that the chemical they used stripped any wax that was on the car, so we'll have to wax the car this week. We've been meaning to do it anyway.
We finally get to Hornell and TRY to check into the hotel. Well, the hotel didn't have the reservation. I did the reservation online about 2 weeks ago! Luckily, they had rooms available.
We dropped Jessica off at my brother's. It looks like Jessica and Mae have hit it off. That's good since they'll be together for the weekend!
Hopefully, things will get better. Oh yea - I'm using 24 bpm dial up for this entry. I can't connect to the free wireless high speed internet for some reason!
Just a WEIRD day!
