I was going to post last week already but time and things got away from me as I am sure
most of you can understand,.
So lets digress just a bit…. we left texas hubby driving the big huge boat of a penske (26)
footer it was….All I can say is wow…We got a late start on that monday and I only made it to
Marshall before I said I gotta sleep. Found a cheap motel and ate half a sandwich and gone
I was till 6 the next morning.
So up and showered ate a little something and off we where at 8 am. Arkansas was the worst
drive to me.. Its just I don’t know but besides driving up 59 arkansas is always the worst part.
Then we hit Memphis…..oh I hate driving through Memphis. and promptly ended up in a stop and go kinda situation.The powers that be closed 2 lanes of a 3 lane highway at the same time
so I think you all can imagine what that was like.. Finally for what should have been 10 minutes 45 minutes later on I-40 east heading to Nashville….Yippe. so much closer half way mark behind us…It was uneventful on 40 I love driving there all the mountains and forests on the side
oh I loved it.. Got into Nashville and though it sometime after 8 pm… So missed rush hour there..
on we went up 65… Then ther ecomes Louisville…I called my daughter at one point in time from Lousiville telling her “ The plane the plane” she was like what the heck Mom are you nuts? then it dawned on her. We had just past the airport in Louisville.. which meant only about 45 minutes from her house.
of course it being after 11 at nite not much was seen besides some traffic.
Recognized the signs though the closer we got.. Off 65 and through S-burg we went
me driving ahead real slow so hubby could follow.
Up the little country road she lives on with the monster behind me. and finally there she is……
so of course after hugs and toilet runs etc a few minutes of talk and we crashed, kids where asleep at the time.
Next morning I snuck in my Abby’s room and she was just waking up…. Memaw is it you????
Yes its Memaw Abby… and hugs I got….
Went to look at the house that day spoke with the landlord… and the next day unloading started.
part of the penke was unloaded in Roberts garage and the other part here.
It’s a cute little 3 bedroom brick 2 baths , older construction with large fenced in back yard..
Dogs love it…. after all unloading was done and penske returned we then started setting up
furniture and unpacking, sunday we staid here the first time.
all my stuff is unpacked now its moms we are unpacking and sorting through. No need for
double kitchen stuff .. So what kids don’t want or need will go into yard sale..
So its slowly getting there..
But it feels like I never left.. and what I enjoy most is early mornings sitting there with a cup of coffee and the windows open just a bit and hearing the wild geese flying over … Oh its Heaven
or standing in the back door of the garage and looking beyond the fence and seeing deer walking in and out of the little woods that’s there..I have missed that…
I will also be busy getting ready for a wedding.. Robert and Katie are getting married end of April so mom has to help with invites and programs and stuff………
I love it.. Kids and families have been here couple times for impromptu family dinners
we have gone to the kids for same…..
I have come home despite the Ohio Valley crud that has gotten me ….This too shall pass
When I find my camera will post some pics…
Hugs from Indiana………..Birgit
