Crunch time coming. A week from tomorrow, we fly out to San Francisco for the family vacay before the RWA Conference. Cleaning and shopping abound. Until then, some pre-holiday reminiscing.

  1. Calling seats in our 1976 Chevy Caprice Classic Estate station wagon. Just like this one, except ours was red and had a CB antenna on top. Baby Bro usually got the “way back” seat while sis and I fought over the back seat.\"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Winning my first Highland Dance trophy on my birthday at the Flora MacDonald Highland Games in Red Springs, NC–wearing a Clan Donald sept tartan, (MacDonell of Glengarry) natch!<\/li>\n
  3. Agog on the Rocky Mountaineer in British Columbia.<\/li>\n
  4. Shagging on Myrtle Beach in college. The South Carolina state dance, not the British version.<\/li>\n
  5. Family photo op at Niagara Falls, the Canadian side.<\/li>\n
  6. Waking up to a Blue Ridge sunrise at Daddy’s house in Highlands, NC.<\/li>\n
  7. Stealing a rollaway bed in Reno with Bubbles.<\/li>\n
  8. Romantic getaway in a French Quarter B&B with DH. We had a tw0-story cottage that was the converted slave quarters of a Burgundy Street house. Vacation complete with beignets, of course, and finished-with-a-hubcap burgers at the Clover Grill.<\/li>\n
  9. Colonial Williamsburg, Carter’s Grove, Shirley, and Berkley the summer before the American Bicentennial. And visiting Monticello, home of my favorite U.S. President.<\/li>\n
  10. Real Florida–our family’s farm in Levy County. Horses, pigs, chickens, cows, turkeys. Dirt, fishing, and plenty of sunshine. No heat or AC. Water fun in a #3 galvanized washtub. Horseback riding all through the hammock. Disney has nothing on our magic kingdom.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
