Checking in with family........

Altho we are on the road, life is not that exciting for blog reading with one  exception.    We left the bugs behind and headed for the hills.    We are somewhere in SC, near Gaffney which is near Spartanburg and Greenville.     The coach is getting a few maintainance items done and we toured the Freightliner factory and saw all kinds of chassis being assembled amidst the extreme noise....and NO ONE was wearing ear protection....it was deafening and not very exciting from my viewpoint but the other half seemed to soak it all up.    P is attending 2 days of Freightliner camp to learn all about the chassis.....he said there are  4 women in attendance but I talked to other women who have gone and they said it was totally incomprehensible and sleep inducing.     

Fortunately, we had other things to interest us as P's cousins live in Greenville.    We had met Linda and Kathy many many years ago so it was time to catch up.    What a wonderful time we had, laughing and sharing and reminiscing.    AND, their dear mother, Aunt Dorothy is such a gracious, lovely lady with an amazing memory.    When asked recently, by a child, how old she was, she said "Can you subtract 2 from 100 ??    It was a privilege to spend time with her.   She reminds us so much of my mother and Aunt Romayne.   That generation had a special gift for keeping in touch with letters and phone calls that puts the rest of us to shame.      

 Myself, Linda, Paul and Kathy after catching up over Chinese food and promises to stay in touch.




Otherwise, the trip has been pretty devoid of blog-worthy chatter.    Here's the pic of the oaks I had to delete

And this is the expansive and interesting bridge over some channel in Brunswick, Ga.  
We head towards home on Saturday, taking two days for the trip.  
Thanks to those who offered suggestions re: the blog.   I haven't had time to do much and I may just consider starting a new blog so see if that will help but just the thought of all that makes me tired so I'll have to procrastinate a bit more.................Plus, I'm going to have to change the blog header shortly and that might just ruin my week completely.
