Actually slept for the first time last night! for a few hours! i;m home, the kids are STILL on the train (deraillment).

Just as a final flourish, the stupid teacher packet the tickets in with the food we were transporting by car. Just as we hit the Indiana Tollroll, the y rang. We turned rouns at the toll booth (paid another toll) headed back, they rang again to say they were getting reticketed for $70 great, turned round agaian paid another told ....hold on, not sure we're ok..... in the shoulder with the flashers on waiting...... OK we're good......

(although they didn't get on the train for another couple of hours and they're still two hours away)

You'd think this is the first time they'd done the trip, but no, it's happened every other year for maybe 12 years (6 trips)

I'm already into the beer -beest will be heading out to the train station.

The botanical gardens are wonderful. Everyone should go. And the Jane Addams Hull house and accompanying story is inspiring.

Beest is happy -I brough leftovers from chinatown to feed 10
