What Is Sum1 Up To Today?

Visiting Friends & Relatives

Visiting Friends & Relatives

         Talk about tiring!  Wow, visiting three relatives/friends in three days, in three different states is exhausting!  Here's what we did.

         On Wednesday May 7, we drove to Columbia Tennessee to see my best friend from Motorola.  Steve retired five years ago and we've stayed in touch all this  time.  We had dinner with him and his wife Sue at a local place.  It was a good time for all of us.  But the day started with a small delay on our part.  Someone named Mother Nature insisted we stop for a routine visit.  Could she ask us both at the same time?  No!  So two stops were necessary.  All was well though, it was just a minor inconvenience.  Wednesday night though, I discovered I had left an adapter for my CPAP at home.  Of course this meant I had to sleep without it.  I was fine, it's happened before, it'll happen again, though I hope it doesn't.

         Thursday we drove from Columbia Tennessee to Montgomery Alabama to see my daughter and her family.  Of course we stopped along the way at a LinCare facility to pick up that adapter.  We met my daughter at a Catfish House for dinner.,  It was a very good time for all.  I brought my camera out and let her children use it all they wanted.  I haven't looked at the photo's they snapped, I'm not sure I want to.    I will upload them to G-Drive though and share with her.

         Friday we drove to Gulfport Mississippi to see my former Father-In-Law.  He turns 90 this year, I'm not sure how many more times we'll be able to get together.  He does look good though, he seems to be in better health than I am...   But, along the way, while driving through a good ol' Southern Downpour, the engine on my van sounded louder.  I immediately knew what had happened.  My van is 11 years old now, it seems that the Exhaust System developed a hole in it.  Where?  I don't know of course.  So tomorrow I'll take it in and leave for as long as it takes the shop to get to it and fix it  Driving home yesterday and today was fun though.  NOT!  It was decently loud, and seemed to get louder today.  But we're home, even if a certain someone (not me!) worried about it overheating, stalling, seizing, whatever else you can imagine.  It's still drivable, it's just noisy of course.

         That was our adventure for the week, and why I haven't been available much as a result.

         I will work, sometime in the future.  We'll see what new career (job) I choose, huh!  Well, that's it, I'm done.  Enjoy yourself, enjoy your life, and love those in your life that really matter!

Love To You All,
