Vacation Time

I am dog sitting for Jana and family for six days . They left yesterday to go to Port Aransas and to San Antonio on vacation. With five kids. I know they will have fun on the beach. They go there every year. This year they have a new addition though. Charlie, their dog. She is dachshund and miniature pincher.  Usually I watch Kaylee while they go but this year she is almost three so they decided she is old enough to enjoy it too.


I had rather watch Kaylee I think than the dog.. I have to take this dog outside all day. It barks at me and licks my feet. My two cats do not like it. She chases them barking. They just stare at her. At least she does have a crate and she just gets in it sometimes.  But she is a little hard to train to go potty. I am a cat person myself , not a dog. I don't dislike dogs and dogs always love me but I don't want one.


Since I am alone most of the time I was used to going over Jana's almost every night and eating dinner with them. She is a good cook too. I am missing that. Now it is just eating with the cat's and the dog.


I know they are having a good vacation though. It is good to get away from the big city sometimes. I went to Florida for my grand daughter's wedding and that was my vacation. I never seen such white sand. It was really great. I will tell about that another time . This vacation is Jana's and her families. I think they are spending two days at the beach. Then they are going to San Antonio and see Ripley's Believe It or Not. Then to Water World. I know the kids will love all of that.


I had never taken a vacation my whole life until about five years ago when Jeff and I went to a bed and breakfast in Buffalo Gap. It wasn't far away but we enjoyed just getting away from the big city. When my kids were young they never got to go on a vacation, just to their Grandmother's for the summer.


I am glad they all get to go on a vacation every year. It is good to just take off  and see new places. Change of pace with new places to see and lots to do.
