Arrived safely at home today, after a beautiful drive from Flowery Branch, Georgia. I have left my Mom at her sister Vernell's for a week or so. The two of them will travel to southern Georgia later to stay with their sister Betty in Waycross. There they will have all four of the sisters together and hopefully have some good visiting. They can always find something to talk about or something to do. The fourth sister is Diane. Mom is the oldest at 84, then Betty, Vernell and Diane is the baby at----I think she is 66.
We left last Tuesday afternoon late. I went to get the oil changed and the tires rotated on Tuesday Ladies Day so I could save $3.oo. Having arrived at 8:30 and returning home at 1:30, I spent extra monies on a serpentine belt and 2 new shocks for the front tires, which they said I really needed badly. So I spent $500. and saved $3.00.......somehow that just doesn't add up. Shouldn't ladies day be 10% off of everything you have done and not just the oil change?????
Anyway, since we got off to such a late start, I thought we would take Mom on a route she had not been on before. We went out thru Whiteville and all the way across the state to Chattanooga. While it was daylight, the ride was beautiful, what Mom saw of it when not sleeping in the car(her favorite thing to do). We stopped for dinner in Fayetteville at a small diner called Marvin's. The food was great! And only $6.50 pp for the buffet, which had everything from fried fish, fried chicken, bbq chicken (it was great), all kinds of vegetables, salad, cobblers, and ice cream. We called Vernell to let her know about how late we would arrive. It was ok, I knew she would sleep on the couch til we got there.
We arrived at 1:30am and talked forever....got up late the next day and kept on talking....lots of catching up to do. Til next time......
