Christine can drive as far as my place and I'll drive us from here to
there. If Christine can behave herself she'll have a from there to
here trip also, in a car low enough.
Christine, what time frame are you looking at?

You're a good person, Koko! I've already told Chris that she is
welcome to stay here and now both of you have a place to crash on your
way up to Lin and Bob's - but not at the end of the month (due to
other plans).

The end of WHICH month? I don't think Christine will be heading to northern
California until mid-September; is that what you meant?

BTW, koko, we have a guest bedroom with a queen-sized bed and we have a
sleeper sofa in the living room. If you drive Christine up this way, you'll
have to flip to decide which of you will get the bedroom. :-)

I'm advised that Christine suffers from an allergy to cats, so our two cats
will be relegated to the garage for the duration of the visit. (That's no
big deal for them; they *love* it in the garage.) But our people-loving[1]
little dog will undoubtedly unleash a tsunami of cuteness in hopes of
getting a belly-rub...FOREVER.

In mid-September, my nights off are 13-16 and 20-23; I work the nights of
September 17-19. Before and after those nights off, I'm pretty much working
*every* night in September.

"philanthropic"?

But, I will be available the entire time.

Likewise, I'm sure! ;-)

You are one of those people that posts and I REALLY enjoy reading what
you have to say. I think we'll have great fun and it will be the start
of a wonderful friendship.

The end of September, Bob... she's not coming any sooner.

While she hasn't talked particulars, I know that her surgery is Sept.
3rd and she'll probably be off her feet a week at least. She in all
probability could be out this way mid-September, which would work great
for me because today I booked a flight to Oklahoma for Oct. 1 - 6th.

along!)

I can flip her, no problem ;-) Thank you for the offer.

We are fostering two little kittens so cats aren't a problem for me,
nor dogs. Thank you for your consideration though.

I'm pretty much leaving the time frame up to Christine. She'll know
what she will feel like doing and when.

Looks who's talking about being a good person, thanks for the invite.
We just started discussing when we'll be doing what. I'm looking
forward to the trip.

OMG! How did I miss your post that you might like to come up also!!!!
Had SF not replied, I would have somehow missed it.

Anyway, the more the merrier! We'd be honored to have you and Christine
at our table!

HELL yeah, if I can! Keep me posted!! I have a couch too, if they need
it, and a bed. I'll happily sleep on the back couch. Having
experienced your and Lin's hospitality, I know your place is more
comfortable, and less dog-infested. Plus, my cats can't be relegated to
the garage (yes, I have a houseful!)
