I got my summer/vacation hair cut yesterday.
After that we went to Enterprise Rent-a-Car to talk about our options for renting a larger car. We decided on a minivan because it has the most cargo space. All the seats behind the driver's seat can be folded down to give us room for the wheelchair, rollator and shower chair. It's going to be very expensive; but it's the only way we can take a vacation. Now we just have to see when Ohio State Waterproofing will finish the work on the other house so that we can leave.
Then we went to Giant Eagle to pick up my prescription, buy my lottery tickets and do a little bit of shopping.
Still waiting for our little housekeeper to have some time for us. She's busy with her real estate job. I need her to help me with some trip stuff and eventually some packing.
Stay safe and healthy and wishing the US residents an enjoyable Labor Day Weekend (Monday the 6th we honor all the US workers).

Such a cute photo!
I'm glad you guys seemingly aren't leaving this weekend. I can imagine lots of road congestion. My friend actually drove her new 4runner up North to drop her step-daughter off, but usually she rents too. I know she rented a bigger vehicle once, a ford if I remember correctly.
I hope you guys have fun and enjoy when you are able to go down to Florida.
I had to look up rollator because I had never herd the term before. My mom had one of those and we just called them a rolling walker.

@LindaOHio Doesn't hurt to start packing early. Hope he'll get around to it.

@ScribbledAdNauseum There's a lot of things like powder, suntan lotion, new trip pants for hubs, fishing shirt for hubs, etc. that we bought that could be packed early. Instead of taking out the suitcases we are going to use a coupon for a free appetizer from Longhorn Steakhouse; and we're going out to eat.

I am hoping that hubs takes out the suitcases this weekend so I can start putting some of our "stuff" in them.

That's good to get a haircut, can feel good.
I hope your trip will go well when you go....sorry it will be very expensive though.
Good luck on the lottery tickets; I think they'd be fun but I have no luck lol.

@MommyOfEli2013 Holy cow! It costs me $3 per week. I would never spend $100,000 playing the lottery!

@LindaOHio Well, that is good....hope you get something good.
I follow a person on YouTube who has spent over 100,000 playing the lottery just this year (he's only got around 88,000 of it back)

It's supposed to have a lot of cargo space when the seats are folded down.

@LindaOHio Those minivans have a lot of cargo space, we could even move furniture.

@DocAndersen Glad you are enjoying the pictures. I have a lot more now that I received some really cool pix from a friend. Glad to hear that a minivan holds a lot of "stuff". Have a good Labor Day.

Me too. Haven't gotten a commitment from her yet; and it's going on 4 weeks since she's been here.
