Countdown to Vacation…

And let the countdown begin my friends.

It is only 7.5 working days until I burn 50 feet of rubber out the parking lot to begin a well deserved 2 week count ’em two weeks in a row vacation!!

I have not taken two weeks in a row in years and now – use them or lose them so I am booking time off left right and centre to make the most of it.

Our first week will be our annual pilgrimage to Orcacoke Island North Carolina – my second home. Could I make living – move my house and I mean the actual house – of course the Boys and everyone I hold dear – let’s just say I would not let the door hit me in the ass on the way out!!

This year proved to a little more challenging. My nephew was going to house sit but unfortunately for me he is moving that weekend in with his gorgeous boyfriend and is just tied up. No big – I’ll find a sitter. And FYI – I am super happy for him- my nephew – another big step in life.

 Posts on message boards – hitting everyone I know – holy expensive!!! Plan B – trailer them back to where I used to board – still expensive but the best care in the world – I can do that.

Then an angel answered my call. A local girl – my saviour. She knows horses and it was like me – 30 years ago – not wanting to make a buck but wanting to help out someone. She asked for little pay but will get paid more than asked let me tell you!! The feeling of relief is immense and the trust that she inspired. Perfect fit.

My sister- bless her will make the drive down and stay in the our home for a few days. A little vacation for her to the cutest B&B around. She will feed my indoor brood of cats and take care of kittens for us while we are gone. A relief to have someone here. Mother in Law will take over when Sister leaves – score number 2.

Daughter and Boyfriend going – Son and Girlfriend going – Family and Dear Friends going.

NC12 is calling me – that long highway through the dunes to the ferry – I can smell it already.

Lunch at Howard’s when we arrive – then off to get our keys to our home for a week.

Pure Bliss!!!

I’ll keep y’all posted in my travels!!
