What a crazy travel day today has been! What my son, Hugh, and I were _supposed_ to do today was get up to leave before 10 a.m. On our annual trek across the Near MidWest to Indiana. I had hoped to get to the west side of Columbus Ohio before 'bedtime' this evening. '
Course, that would have been easier if I had not drunk a large Dr. Pepper soda at lunch yesterday - the less caffeine I drink, the less I seem to be able to tolerate! :( It was 4 a.m. Last night the last time I looked at my clock. Sigh! So late getting up (9:30 a.m.)
Then, just as we were loading the car, I realized that I had left my daughter's quilt at the store. Major bad! Drive to Catonsville to get the king sized quilt I finished at utter long last (along with a strip set to make sampler blocks with because I was unable to find the TWO Balipop sets I saved for the project - they are in the legendary safe place where many of my treasures probably end up. More sighs!
Oh, and then stop just up the street to drop off the Fall newsletter at the printer's. I think it was 11 a.m. Before our wheels actually rolled onto route 70 going westward.
It has been very s-l-o-w driving today ... One construction back up near Hagerstown ... And TWO major delays for accidents (one for an hour, the next only five miles farther on for an additional 45 minutes). We rarely see accidents on our travels down interstate highways - today we drove into torrential rain with a thunder storm, that was not good for a number of unlucky or maybe unwary drivers. :(
By the time we got out of the second jam, I had enough driving for the day so we dived into the nearest Hampton Inn (Zanesville, OH). WHEW!
A little email reading and it is lights out for me! Tired fer sure tonight. :P
Oh, if you have any interest in preserving the natural world, you might want to take a look at this NGO that is seeking contributions for the Iberian Wolf Sanctuary (I contributed). IndieGoGo is running the campaign. Be sure to watch the video showing a mother wolf playing with her two pups. :)
