Hey Everyone
Well I took a brief blogging break for the Holiday there especially with being 5 hours away with limited internet….I used to have a cousin that lived at my grandmas that had internet but he moved more into town with a friend so there went that connection being available to me lol. He would let me on his wifi and sometimes on the computer to do a few things if I had to.
The crazy thing is I had a tiniest of bit of signal on my cell phone every now and then – enough to look at an email or pull up facebook for a few min so that was nice. It kind of depended on where you laid the phone. I have to say though it was kind of nice to not be tied to the web as much as usual, and even when we got home Friday I have kind of mostly just used my tablet or phone and not really even had the computer out.
Wed evening we went and picked up the Car and we were cutting it close because as of 5 pm we hadn’t even heard if the car was even ready and I Kind of had a feeling they would be closing at 6 and David really doesn’t get off until 5:30. When he called at 1 they didn’t know then either! David luckily got off work at 5 and had went to clean the car up a bit (it was NASTY when we got it, but we thought we were going to have to travel with it) and we got at text about 5:20 that we could pick it up FRIDAY and we sent a message and said we wanted it that night and never got a response so we just headed that way and lucked out.
Thursday we left around 12:00 and stopped by my mom and dads to pick up some meat grinder thing that they had forgotten to take. We did fairly well stopping here and there and we were about 45 min away from my grandmas (4-5hour trip) and Marley threw up- poor thing. After that she was just pittiful – i think she totally snuck and got in sams cat food when I was packing and I think she got off center a bit on the mountain roads too. She was ok and it wasn’t too horribly bad – we got a seat cover and it just wiped up.
We turned out to be the only ones there other than my mom and dad so we got the “guest house” all to ourselves = we still picked out the room we usually stay in and omg that bed was so tiny lol. I also didn’t sleep very well because it is so very dark and quiet and you kind of sleep a lot deeper and you wake up and you think it should be morning and its like 3 am lol.
Friday – we had our thanksgiving meal and David and I left about 1:15 and Marley did really good on the way back and we only stopped one time and that was so David could get an energy drink and let marley go out. it took longer than it should because David had saw that there was a sheetz on this exit and we never did find it- we kind of just gave up and went back to the 7 11 lol. We got home about 530 and my mom and dad were running about 2 hours behind us and I know they were happy to be home
Saturday was pretty low key and we just rested and what not and then yesterday we went over to my mom and dads for lunch – David had been wanting spaghetti for a while and even though I can make it I don’t really make a nice home made sauce like my mom (but it is something I would like to learn)
We are going to try to go back next month for christmas if we can make it where we can ride with my mom and dad so here is hoping on that note.. kind of depends on when they leave and how long they are going to stay and all that mess…
Right now I am gonna jump off here and call my mom, take out Mars and straighten up a few things and eat lunch and see what needs to be done. I do have some pics I took on the way to VA and on the way home that I might end up posting here as well. I have def. got out of the habit of pic posts and I haven’t even posted on instagram since the car got hit lol.
