I'm going to be gone all of next week, Saturday to Saturday.

Visiting my grandmother in California. Weekend with my mom and sister and the nieces, and the rest of the week with just the nieces.

I can only hope I can get on the plane, we've still got an ID situation here.

Probably will be able to get online there. I don't know.

California's a big state. Is Grandma close enough to Los Angeles that I might get a chance to cook for you?

I can't speak to Connie's schedule (especially as leaving my mom with the kids is a bit iffy sometimes) but I believe the proximity issue shouldn't be too bad, as I recall LAX is a choice for us to fly into, though not super close (we usually go to the San Diego airport).

They live near San Diego, but I don't have anywhere near an intuitive grasp of how close that is to anybody. Additionally, once I'm on my own with the nieces, I can't leave them alone - my uncle and grandmother are not, I believe, good full-time caregivers at the moment. (Not to disparage my grandmother, she's just very old at the moment.)

That's probably about an hour and a half's drive; would the nieces be interested in some sailboats?

You know, I think they would be.

If the invitation is still open, and I can get a ride (I'll pay gas, I guess... don't want to, I lack funds, but I have no expenses usually) you can tell from my most recent post that I'd be thrilled to accept.

I'll be writing our menu-for-the-week soon, and probably running to the store (the fridge is stuffed already, but what can you do? Quite a lot of it is the 12 gallons of various milks), should I bring anything?

(The answer to that question, of course, is yes. One does not show up anywhere without food. But what is what I'm asking.)
