I'm very weary after a day's drive. I had a restful and fun 2-1/2 day, 3 night stay in Columbus, GA. A friend from my childhood, and the maid of honor at my wedding, lives in Columbus now and I haven't seen her for years.
Rita and I shared an apartment together for several years, and we loved to drink Tanqueray martinis, which she remembered. She fixed us martinis every late afternoon before dinner, and at first I was worried because it's been at least 45 years since I've had one. Absolutely delicious!
I am very tired this evening after driving through Alabama and Mississippi, and managed to get across the Miss. River before I decided to look for lodging.
I seriously don't think I will do any more long distance driving after I get home from this trip. It just doesn't do anything for me these days except make me tired and just want to drive to the point where I can stop for the night. That isn't much enjoyment. I will probably limit my driving to a few hundred miles radius of Sacramento for a while.
I couldn't connect to Rita's internet so I just stayed off the computer (and really didn't miss it much). I also didn't watch TV at all - we talked until we were all talked out! It was a great break for me.
- A Relaxing Day
I went to Jeannie's house today to spend the day with Ara before she heads back east. Jeannie, Ara and I put toether a big jigsaw puzzle, and worked 5 NY Times crossword puzzles. With three great minds together we just couldn't...
- Back On The Trail
I parked my car at a lot a few miles further along the trail and walked about 2-1/2 miles, which is 5 miles round trip. My legs are hurting, and I can't understand why they should since I walk a lot to begin with. The sun was...
- Hot-hot-hot!!!
I never did like Sacramento during the summer, and the older I get the more I hate it. Triple digits for at least the next week are not healthy for me. I've been out twice today - early this morning I went to buy strawberries at the farmers'...
- Waiting
The AT&T installer was scheduled to be here between 11 and 1:00, and it's now 1pm. I just got a call from him saying he'd be here in about 20 minutes. But I didn't have anything else to do today, did I. So now he has been here...
- Not Much Today
I drove from Monett, MO to Western OK (in the Panhandle) for a much greater distance and time than I like to spend on the wheel. Eight hours, and I haven't figured the mileage yet. Northern OK is ok but mostly it's been boring. US...
