Trip Day 2

I was starting to write and Addie asked what I was doing. I said writing a blog post. She wanted to know what I was writing about. I told her there were several options. She started dictating . . in her silly teen voice . . “Today I got up. I brushed my teeth. I fixed my hair. I put on makeup.” I told her . . nope, can’t write that. The readers know me too well. If I write that I fixed my hair and put on makeup, they’re going to worry about me. 🙂

My uncle has 5 or 6 vehicles. He’s the uncle who gave Chad my grandpa’s old pickup truck. My uncle has several Volkswagon Beetles, a Karmann Ghia and an El Camino – all in pristine condition. He also has a newer modern vehicle but Addie loves to go for rides in the old cars. He’ll always take her for a ride in each one but the El Camino has a dead battery. My uncle put it on the charger and it started once but wouldn’t again so he tested the battery and it’s dead. He and Nicole are going to go get a battery for it this morning and she’s going to help him change it so he can take Addie for a ride. No way my uncle will let Addie leave here without getting to ride in those old cars.

There’s a pizza place here in town that’s been here since I was in high school . . probably even before that. My uncle likes their food, Addie and Nicole love their food and I love their salads, so we’re picking up dinner from there today so . . no cooking for me today.

I did get my little portable magnifying lamp hooked up yesterday and worked a bit on A Sampler for All Seasons. I can’t finish it today but I may finish it tomorrow. You know me . . I probably won’t finish it the entire trip.

We’re not going to drive all the way home in one day . . not after the 13 hours it took to get here. We’re going to break the trip in half and stay in a hotel on the way home. I’m hoping it’s an 11 hour trip and we can stop after about 5 hours. There is a yummy sushi restaurant near where we’re planning to stay so that makes all three of very happy!

Tomorrow we have lunch with my friend and I’ll be able to give her the piece I made for her so tomorrow’s post may be an afternoon post and I can share that photo.

Having fun! Wish Vince was here. Wish Oscar was a sweet, social pup and wish he was here too! 🙂
