Our plan was to leave at 6 in the morning to pick up Gabe in OKC to take off for Jackson, TN. So, Gabe has to work until 2! That means we won't get to leave until 2:30 at the very best. That means it will be midnight when we go rolling into Jackson. That is so not a good plan. I do not drive at night. I start turning into a pumpkin around 10. I've got to get a good night's sleep tonight and then put my best foot forward tomorrow. I will never do this, again! I know the road and it's a doable thing, but it's not smart. I'd rather be smart. Instead I'm being emotional. My first reaction was, "Then Gabe can't go." I think that was harsh and I want him to go, so I'm caving. I just pray that we won't crash!
We are all packed and ready to go. I've got the car mostly loaded. I am working to get my old laptop set up for Gretta to use. That's a whole new project, so maybe it's a good thing I don't have to leave early in the morning. All things work out and I'm trusting God to level it all out and make this trip a success. I've just got to remember to trust Him and not expect to do it all myself. I won't post tomorrow night because I will be on the road and as soon as I get to Jackson I've got to go to sleep. Take a day off from this blog. I hope to be back online when I check into the condo in Gatlinburg, so watch for an update on Saturday night. God blesses and I thank Him for that!
Be careful, have a safe trip and enjoy your time with your grandsons, make them keep you awake. As they say, drive to arrive alive :)
ReplyDeleteWell, the plans keep changing! Gabe is not going, so we're back to leaving early in the morning. I may get there in time to post after all. Certainly we'll get there before dark and before I start turning into a pumpkin. I feel like a ping pong ball; hanging out with teenagers is a whole trip without even going anywhere! I'll be careful. Garrett and I will continue to be buds. Thanks for your concern. We'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteWell you won't read this until you are already there. I'm sure you made ok. Have fun!

Sissy, I just now saw this, but it doesn't matter. I love it when you post anything! It's been great fun; bittersweet at times, but all in all it's been great. I love it that you post; it makes me feel like you're with me! Love having you with me! :) You would have loved seeing Ruthie and Phil today. Sometime maybe you and I will come back to see them; think about it.
