Things Work Out.

You may have noticed, or not, that I haven't blogged since the 14th.  I would have guessed it was longer.  When you're busy with "life-changing" things, your days are so different that time seems different too. 

Our Corning relatives are going through a difficult time -  Our daughter-in-law's mother died on Wednesday, July 11th in Erie, PA. The obituary said that the viewing was Monday 4-8:00, and the funeral was Tuesday, 10:30.   Paul and I changed our plans so we could go.

 We decided not to join Greg and Brenda's families at niece Sue's home in Middletown for her Sunday reunion/party because it was in the opposite direction from where we needed to be on Monday.  200 miles East from our house versus 200+ miles west from our house.  It would obviously have doubled our travel time.

 Brenda's Eric was flying in to NYC on Saturday from California, and getting to Middletown late that night.  That meant Brenda needed a ride to Sue's by Saturday night to pick up Eric at the train station.  They and Greg's family were planning to go in to NYC for a full day of sight-seeing on Monday.  The kids were looking forward to it, as were they. 

Now. . .if we'd gone to the party, we could have brought Gracie with us and taken Gus and her back to our house on Monday because Greg and Noi would be coming back here for a couple of days after their sight-seeing.  They were to drop Brenda, Emma and Eric off at the train station in Middletown so they could get back to NYC and JFK airport for their trip to Germany on Tuesday.

 So there were complications for all of us.

 We couldn't take the dogs with us.
They couldn't take Gus with them. 
Sharon was away at a wedding, coming home Monday evening. 

So....We called our petsitter, Carol, and she - bless her heart took both of the dogs early Monday morning.  They stayed over Monday night, and we picked them up on Tuesday - early evening.  Gus didn't have his papers here, nor proof of shots, or anything. Who would have thought to bring them?  BUT -  Greg called his vet and they e-mailed all the info for us.  Isn't technology wonderful?  And how things worked out?

And how things work out.
