Sudden travel

After a week on pretty much blogging hiatus, I forsee another such week.  I'm headed home.  My grandmother died on Friday. She was 86 and had severe dimentia. This summer gone into a nursing home and was quite unhappy. To be honest, she has said for years that she feels ready to go.  She went.

More than anything the stress of being on a weekend away with students, sorting out the high price of airline tickets, getting work informed and up to date,  and imagining myself traveling alone with a toddler have all been the sources of frustration.  So tomarrow, before bright but very early Junia and I will head to Chicago and then get on a train for southern illinois. We should arrive after about 13 hours of travel. I am sure I don't have enough toys packed.

Send me patience.
