Adventure Planning

My good Friend Pamela asked if I'd been to Tybee Island.
 No, what is that?
 Wanna go?
Well of course. I'm up for any adventure!
  A full WEEK! with them.  I am so excited!!
 I pray we are still friends when we get home.
I remember Oprah and Gayle's road trip. they got home and their friendship was never the same.
 Gayle wanted the radio on, Oprah wanted it off. pretty soon they were riding in different cars.
  After they got home and talked about their trip on her show, it was awkward. That is how I remember it. My memory is faulty so I may have it all wrong...
 What an adventure. I have no idea what I'm getting into, beach, thrift store, and Christmas Store.
 Guess what?
 It has to beat sitting at home alone crying in my Dr. Pepper ON my birthday. YES! we are doing this the week of my birthday! I do not need celebrated any other way. In my heart I know Van is going with me to celebrate my big day together. What fun we'll have.
  We'll be in Gatlinburg on my big day. Yay!! I'm not sure I've been to Gatlinburg. If I have been, it was passing thru... not actually stopping to see the sights. 
   Should I take my big camera with the extra lens, or just my phone that takes good photos?
   How many bags should I take? one gigantic one or a satchel with my back pack? 
    I'll need a folded up one for stuff I buy right?
    Do I take my coffee pot coz I am a coffee snob? or just pray they have a decent coffee shop. 
    I am so excited. something to look forward to.

Unrestrained Travis

                                                       Unrestrained Travis    My brother Travis came to visit,  the same week, my mother-in-law passed away.    Perfect time for my kids to get to see Uncle Travis.    The morning of the funeral, we went to breakfast, Travis, my son, Montana,  daughter, son- in- law, grandsons and sister.    We googled a good place to eat near me. The Apple Barrel came up. 4.7 stars. That was the highest rated place with good friendly staff.   We are all dressed like we’re going to a funeral or maybe we’re a new band in town who knows?    “Travis, just behave for today.”   “I’ll try, but I’m not making any promises.”    Our family tries to be serious at a funeral.. We fail a lot.    My brother-in-law passed away a month ago. At th...

Really Just TWO?

 Camping is the life especially when I am the guest and others are responsible for all the work.    We woke up to the sound of a high wind rocking the camper, then a huge crash! We left the awning up.      No reason to take it down, it was a beautiful balmy summer evening, so hot we hated to abide by the no generators after eleven pm.  We suffered in... not silence as we all sweated and flopped around to get more comfortable.       Finally a bit of  relief as the wind quickly cooled everything down, then the huge crash! Oh no!    The Awning pole is bent just a little.  Pam's  #4 son quickly helped us get it down. May as well stay up we are all drenched from the sudden rain.     Sweet  son #4 so thoughtful and kind brought us milk and cereal for breakfast. No bowls, oops. He found a huge fruit bowl. I said I can eat out of  a coffee filter.  I truly thought he was going to share as I ...

Bob (I mean Rowdy #2)

I love my grandsons . Sometimes I have to make difficult decisions, watch a movie with my daughter or play a game with the grandsons. The grandsons win every time of course.  We were playing Sequence, Rowdy #2 was bored and distracted by the third turn. I said hey Jimmy, John, Joe (the list of names when we can't think of the right one.)  "Just call me Bob." Rowdy #2 said and laughed.  Bob it is!  After he quit the game, we continued to call him Bob . It was no longer funny to Rowdy #2, he asked us politely to stop, "that isn't my name."   "Sure we will... Bob!" There may have been a little bit of wine involved, (who am I kidding, there was a lot of wine involved.)  We went a little too far calling him Bob . Upset, Rowdy #2 flew up stairs to get away for a bit.  I really felt bad, this is my grandbaby, he may be 13 years old, but he is precious to me. I went upstairs, knocked on his door and asked to come in so I can apologize . In the ...
