Trains outta MI and other ramblings

Yes, Julie, you can take trains out of MI. We actually have an Amtrack station right here in flint. There must not be one anywhere near you,which is why you would do it the way you said.

Anyway, a pretty uneventful day. but speaking of trains....i was at my mom's until time to leave to get makenneh to school. I get to the train tracks further down on her road...a train is stopped on the tracks. So, i take the street that goes alongside the tracks....go through some back side streets and come to the next crossing...train had started moving, although at a very slow pace and was now blocking this cross....so i go up to the next crossing....just missed the clearing...finally, i called her teacher nad told her about the situation and that if i couldn't cross the next street up, i was just taking her home, bc i was on E and had no money on me. So, she stayed home this evening. Geesh, i hate when the trains are stopped like that, they take forever.

Carrie is getting frustrated with the whole shower date fiasco. She said she is to the point to just say just be sure to send her an invite. She doesn't want it hte last weekend in March, bc that's one week after her friend's shower and Carrie will be doing a lot for htat shower,bc nobody is really stepping up to help. But,like i told Carrie, she doesn't have to do anything for hers, but show up, eat, open gifts, socialize. She also feels funny having it that far before the wedding. which,i know isn't typical, but we are in a pickle and out of dates to do this. I gave her a very short list of possible dates to have it and told her to pick one and that would be it! LOL!

Well,im off here for now...gonna finish my rounds and get the kids to bed...good night

I didn't know trains still went out of Flint. Last I heard, they were going to stop that. It is good do know they still travel out of there. :)

Bummer on the choo choo train thing. Sometimes they are a pain!

Good luck getting the shower date set. :)
