On the Road Again

Will leave Saturday to go to see Steve's kids, and I think he'll help his ex wife and son get a fallen tree out of their way - and should she need any other "man" stuff done, he and his son will knock it out for her. She truly has become a friend, and although there are bad past occurrences, I feel it is not too much for Steve to lend a hand, regardless of anything. She is the mother of his children, his children live there, and I believe a small hand once in awhile is not asking too much.

I have instructed everyone that I do not wish to make plans - lets go with the flow. We can't check into the motel until 3pm, but if we work outdoors, shop and visit - then we will be ready for showers and dinner just in time to get settled.

My girls live just north of where we'll be getting the room, and I'm so excited to see the babies I just can't stand it. I have GOT to stay out of the stores though, I've already bought outfits again and need to put some money back for the trip...its so hard to say no. You should see the little girl outfits at the store nowadays.

I have yet to plant the garden, my chore for this evening, but we've had a steady rain since I woke up this morning...so planting is out. Oh well, will get some laundry in.

I had a great evening yesterday. Steve came to my house and mowed while I grilled steaks, and then we enjoyed drinks on the deck, looked at some real estate for sale that I printed and took home, and had a nice visit. After he left, I talked to Daddy on the phone for over an hour, then mother, and got into bed by 9. Bryton woke me up at 10:30 to tell me he was spending the night with Allen, but was in bed when I left for work this morning.

I'm hoping that today remains normal, peaceful, and raining. The rain seems to calm me.
