146.6

We’re back home in VA. We drove back on Friday, left NY at 5 am. Thank God it was a smooth ride all the way. Well almost, upon entering Northern Virginia the traffic was stop and go for the last 2 hours. Now I need a vacation of not doing anything and a break from…

We’ve been here in NY for two days and my emotions are all over the place. It started with the drive up here. It ended up taking 13 hours, every road we traveled was backed up. Waze took us west from I 495 to 15 to I 81 to I 84. It started snowing while…

Right now it’s 7:30 am and we’ll be leaving shortly to drive the hell that is 95 North. With luck it can take 6 hours, more likely it will take 9 to 13 hours. Last night I was up until 1, making cookies. I start up every year happy and excited that I’m going to…

Overall stating that he was very brusque, didn’t listen and was eager to give a shot of steroids. To be fair there was a few stating…

Last week we took an unplanned trip to NY before our trip North for Christmas. I didn’t really want to go since we would be going in a few weeks. Pete wanted to visit his mother, he hadn’t seen since last Christmas. She is 86, though you would never know it. She is in better…

In October we drove to the house in N. Carolina for a week. This was a work trip. We hung the new curtains on the sliding glass doors. I’m not thrilled with the color, I thought they were a light tan, (which was the description), and they ended up being more of a gold. The…
