Day #2, On the road again!
I made it to Birmingham! It was a butt buster in the car all day, but heck, I did a full 8 hours of driving thru 4 states. The terrain was a shifting display...mountains gave way to rolling hills, and finally into the lower lying delta earth of Alabama. The drive went by quickly...
When I checked into my hotel tonight, there were 2 young girls with their mom coming in...and they each had a cat in their arms. Truly beautiful cats. I asked them if they were show cats ( just making some light conversation to break the ice) and they said no, and then I asked if they liked to ride in the car, and they said "not really, we are from New Orleans".
Many others are here with their kids- the staff at the front desk clearly love the children who are staying here for an indefinite period. They hold them and play with them behind the desk...very beautiful moments.
Today's Thumbs up to:
*Cruise control!
*A speed limit of 70 mph!
*No traffic!
*Little or no constuction!
*THE FIREWORKS SUPERSTORE! Who would have thought that you could sell only fireworks...and in a superstore no less!
*Funny Billboards! ( Be nice to strangers..visit your inlaws!)
*Trucks travelling with me that have big signs on them saying "hurricane relief" from Saugerties Ny and Massachussetts.
*There really IS a Chatanooga CHoo CHoo!
Thumbs down to:
*Bugs on my windshield...many many bugs!
*Butt numbness.
Sister Shout outs!!!!!
*Shellye McCarty who is going to let me stay with her in Magee MS. Thank you!
*Jenn Stanik who caled me twice today to chat. Thanks for the fun distraction!
*Rhonda Jones! You rock in the directions and places to go department!
*Kelly Evans~thanks for hosting poker for Princeton as I will not be home in time to get my house ready.
*Tricia Jennings! Thanks for all of your help coordinating help for Stacy.
*Stacy Brown! I'm sorry I did not get in to Chatinooga in time for lunch...but thank you so much for your offer to stay at your home. It brought tears to my eyes.
Will check in tomorrow if I have internet.
