Vacation begins Thursday

My family and I are getting ready to go camping for a few days. I have helped my parents almost every day this past week and I am tired. I plan to take a camp chair, place it under a tree and relax. Most of the gear is in the car and trailer. Need to load our suitcases and food and we will be off on Thursday. I am excited--time for myself. I hope we can eat at the restaurant on Lake Huron (where we ate last yr) and walk on the boardwalk. I would like to visit my aunt and uncle who live in assisted living about 30 miles from the campground. I plan to call them on Thursday to see if we can visit for a while. One of my work colleagues agreed to take care of the furbabies. She came over on Sunday and met the dogs, cats, rabbit and fish. I believe that my mother has ataxia. One of her aides works with a client who also has ataxia. She suggested a hospital bed in the living room. Hard for both parents, I think. Mother has had a couple good days. Tomorrow my parents celebrate their 69th anniversary. Made a mistake today because my son said, "Next year they will celebrate their 70th," and I forgot myself and said, "This will be their last one."
