Driving

Our last day at the cabin.  We got a late start on the day, but made it to one of the many Flapjack houses to try their pancakes.  Ken has talked about going since we arrived.  This was Ken's idea.  Did he eat pancakes, NO.  But I did.  Hmm!  It just occurred to me he doesn't even really like pancakes, but he knows that I do.   So just another way he was putting me first.  That just beats all!  He is such a kind person.
We did a little shopping and went back to the cabin.  He watched some movies and I did stuff on the computer.  (New patterns so I was hunting just the right material and prioritizing the projects that I have started, waiting at home, and the new ones I just bought.)  So, when he was hungry I heard from him about dinner.  We went out to Olive Garden.  My dinner was so delicious.  I tried something new and it was a wonderful choice.  Ken got the same thing he gets every time we go and he was very happy and full!  We got back to the cabin and watched some movies, did some laundry, and snuggled.
We got up Thursday, finished laundry, packed, gathered trash, and loaded up.  Then we hit the road for Bryn and Vicki's house at Ft. Stewart, GA.  It looked to be about an 8 hour drive.  Unfortunately the route we went there was never a speed over 55.  We drove most of it at 55, but there was a lot at 35 and 45.AGH! It sure seemed slow.  We drove through North Carolina but a lot was in South Carolina.  I (notice I not We) saw some of the USA I had never been in before.  Thank you Ken for driving the last hour or two.  I appreciated it when you took over.  I was tired of driving slow 2 lane roads in the rain.  We called the kids and they gave us better directions, well directions because we didn't have any.
Yeah!  We arrived.  The last time we were here was in February, when Bryn was home on R&R from Iraq.  Since then they (actually she) moved from that house to the one they are in now.  It is bigger and nicer.  I can understand why she wanted to move and did it by herself while he was still in Iraq. 
Bryn left early for work.  Ken and Vicki are asleep and I am enjoying the quiet.  I don't know what the plans are.  I can only hope there is a fabric shop involved!
