Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “birth/berth.” Use one, use ’em both, but whatever you do, have fun! – Linda G Hill

My husband has retired for a year. Time flies. He and I discussed our travel plans. One of his recommendations is to take a train trip to go north from Southern California. We could ride long distance and sleep in the berth of a sleeper car. Well, my problem is that I am a light sleeper. Any noise or motion would wake me up. The thought of riding the train in a long distance has to put on hold for a while.

Talking about traveling, I bought several round trip air tickets going to Portland. My daughter is due to give birth to her baby in a few weeks. My first trip is coming up on September 14, five days before the baby’s arrival. I will stay until September 23, and come home for a few days to take care of my business. My husband will join me for the second trip leaving on September 27 and will stay for several weeks to help out my daughter with some house chores.

This is such an exciting time in our family.
