"Book on how to use cell phone for emergencies - check." Ha! That is great.
RYN: Thanks for reading, yeah, my "babies" are the furry variety. My poor mom. She often asks "when am I gonna have grandchildren?" And (as I am not even DATING anybody) I usually say "well, if you think I need to fill a void, I could always get another critter..." and she backs off in a hurry. Someday maybe I will make her happy and give human grandkids like yours, but I am sort of planning on having a hubby first. Soi she better learn to be patient.
Well I hope this means you are off today!
You never said anything about bug spray, sunblock, or bandaids.
I would take your list plus:
Wet Wipes for any sticky emergency
Sunglasses so I can look cool driving, and they hold my hair back when they are on top of my head
Laptop, for then I can't get to sleep in the uncomfortable hotel bed.
Blackbabies gummie licorice for the drive
Books on Tape/or CD
Whole collection of 50's and 60's music
Lawn Chair for relaxing anywhere
My Pillow, cuz I hate everyone elses
A craft for boredom (that I will never do because I am never bored on trips)
A book( that I will never read, cuz napping is so much better on trips)
Presents for everyone(cuz I would look all yr for special somethings)

Hi Chumly,
Thanks for coming by.
The pics I put on my blog for the scavenger hunt were mostly scans of photographs.
We have only had a digital cameral a couple of years.
I used to use a panoramic one. I am scanning all my photographs to keep a digital archive. It is a good idea to have archives saved someplace like a safety deposit box, so the memories are not lost for ever in a flood or fire.
Of course all my good intentions are for not if I dont get them finished and secured before a darn flood or somethin!
