Morning! I’m not quite sure what day this is of Motherdear and Ronald’s Road Trip Adventure. I could count it out, but I don’t feel like it… oh bother… don’t you hate it when you decide not to do something then realize you’re just being lazy? Okay… today is Day 13.
We are in [...]

Let’s start back on [...]

25 September 2009 – Day 7 of our Great Adventure
Greetings from Lebanon, Tennessee… we are now, not only separated by distance, but by time as well. At 3:12 p.m. today, my mother and I through some high tech, molecular regeneration, phase-shifting-bondo process went back in time by 3600 seconds. It happened so quickly… we almost [...]

24 September 2009 – Day 6 of Our Adventure
Slept well… woke up a little after 7 a.m. Got into my running clothes and snuck downstairs to the fitness room barely waking my mother on my way out. Did 2 miles on a pretty creaky treadmill (the emergency off switch was taped in place, the incline [...]

23 September 2009 – Day 5 of Our Big Adventure
The subject line says it all… Today was a driving day. Getting from Point A (Strasburg, VA) to Point B (Gatlinburg, TN) was all we had planned. It was pretty much all we accomplished, too.
We slept in a bit, ate a leisurely breakfast at our hotel, [...]

22 September 2009 – Day 4 of Motherdear and Ronald’s Great Adventure
Greetings travelers!
Today’s entry will be short (hopefully). The laundry is in the dryer and I hope to finish this entry at about the same time the laundry finishes. Then I’ll read for a bit then get to bed.
Another great day with my mother. That’s [...]

21 September 2009 – Day 3
Did I mention yesterday that my mother and I had big plans for today? I did, didn’t I?
Here’s what we did…
We arrived at the lift-off site (which was just about 100 yards up the street from where we stayed) at about 6:20 a.m. By 6:30 a.m. we were [...]

20 September 2009 – Day 2
First, a brief mention that today would have been my father’s 71st birthday. I wasn’t sure if my mother would want to leave on our vacation yesterday or if she would have wanted to put flowers on his grave today. Obviously she was fine with leaving yesterday so…
I began my [...]

19 September 2009 – Day 1
We did it! My mother and I finally left on our road trip to Tennessee. Yeah!!
By 8 a.m. this morning I had the rented white Hyundai Sonata all packed and was just pacing between the kitchen, the den, and my bedroom… trying to remember what I’d forgotten (surely I’d forgotten [...]

Over a Month’s Worth of Scattered Thoughts

Posted by Donna on August 20, 2009

20 August 2009
Several people have commented lately that it’s been awhile since I wrote in my blog. Although I knew that was true, the few times I’ve tried to write an entry, I just wasn’t able to produce anything blog-worthy.
Not sure if today will be different, but I’ll give it a try. If you are [...]
