So here's the short of it, 
Ready to go. 

And here's the long.

The candy is made.  The Honey Nut Stollen is made.  Everything is in the bags, and we'll be headed out to Atlanta to spend the day with family tomorrow.  Pat and Steve's kids are on the every other year schedule, and the even years are their years with the Howards, so we'll get to see all of them and the 3 cute little grandkids!   Mom took the shuttle down and has been there since Friday.  When I talk with her she sounds like she's having a great time. Liga and Valdis will be going with us and I'm hoping that they'll be able to get into the every other year commitment as well.  Russ and Greg are already there - they arrived Russ from the south on Saturday, and Greg from Montana late Sunday night.  Shelley and Daniel and Elizabeth will be our absent children.  We'll have them there in spirit though.

In the morning we'll load up the car and head down the road.
But right now, I suspect I'd better go try to get some zzz's.
