Well Monday and Tuesday was mainly geared to leaving hot Florida as we made the Florida house ready to be empty for 5 months and to pack for what we need at the cabin, of course you have no idea the amount of clothes Nancy takes; it a good thing we have a truck. Amy our sweet beautiful daughter had us over for supper on Monday evening and then we made a quick stop in her 'hood to tell her neighbors and dear friends of ours good bye before heading home for some last minute packing.
I got up at 3 AM and loaded the truck, cleaned out the freezer and fridge contents in to 3 ice chests which were almost full with just enough room in the frozen items chest for some goodies at Sam's club in Winston before heading up the mountain. We did hit some rain about 3/4 of the trip in the Carolinas but this new way had us by passing Columbia and Charlotte which is just crazy with traffic and we met a few of them on this trip mainly in Florida.
What a change when we climbed the mountain from in the 60's to a low of 49 degrees and rain with fog and of course the cabin had been locked up for 7 months and even the dishes were stone cold, oh well. Our dear friends here had mowed and weed eated so the grass in the yards and gardens looked decent and not over bearing. There is lots of work to be done before son Bobby and family arrive in a week or so.
We had no internet as the company forgot to take it off vacation despite me calling a couple weeks ago, but Nancy had the I phone so she was in contact to let every one know we made it safely. I was up before 5 doing my morning routines of some Thanks to the Lord for a safe trip and that things looked good here after being alone for 7 months. Lots of the mountain laurels are in bloom and it beautiful to say the least. Well its time for some breakfast and I'll get back to my early morning ramnle starting on Thursday morning, LATER
