Finally!!

I am finally getting caught up. It is Friday and this is the first time I am able to sit down at a computer to do this. You will have to forgive my clumsiness at this format. I am pressing buttons that I should press and posting empty posts. Please hang in there and I promise that I will improve. Pictures will eventually appear, too. I am not sure I have the time for that today.

So, I will start with Monday and gradually work my way up to today. We finally got on the road at about 1:45 on Monday. Packing the van and cleaning the house for out renters turned out to be a bigger task than expected. We should learn to expect the unexpected. We had an uneventful drive to Creedmmor, NC where we stopped at the home of Jamie and Angela Reid and their 6 children. A number of years ago we had a bi monthy Bible study with them in their home in Gloucester for 2 years. So we got caught up with them at dinner and saw their large old home and the many kittens that they are breeding. If any of you are shopping for a $750 kitten, Angela is the person to talk to. They are very cute and have blue eyes. That is the kittens, not the Reids. It was great to see them all again. It is always special to see old friends

After dinner we moved on to Mebane, NC, just the other side of Durham, where we spent the night with Wally Hill, whom some of you may know. His wife, Peggy, was in California visiting family so we saved him from yet another solitary evening. It was great seeing him and their new home. He took us out for breakfast at the local Cracker Barrel and we got back on the road to head for Nashville.
