We stayed up until 2 am with the kids. I couldn't believe it was so late. Saturday we got on the road at 9:00. The speed limit was 55 again. We drove across Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and back into Tennessee and just into Arkansas. We finally stopped got a room, picked up Taco Bell, ate, and lights out. TIRED!
Sunday found us on the road again. We got to Alma and stopped for brunch with Cassie, Phillip, Peyton, and Phillips mom Jama Kay. It was a nice stop and we enjoyed seeing the kids. Then we were driving again! We were glad to get home. We went by and got Rusty, the big red dog, from Kevin and Nicole's house. Ken was happy to see him and he was happy to see Ken. We unloaded and chilled out.
Ken and I got up fairly early and loaded up the cans we have been saving for the past year or so. We had nine kitchen garbage bags. We got there and there were four vehicles ahead of us, so we got to wait. We had 40 pounds of cans. We netted $22.00. Nice! Then I went to get the front end aligned and balanced because we noticed it shaking a bit on our trip. I went to a local place and he said it would be 45 minutes. Not bad, so I decided to wait. Big mistake! Two hours later it was determined it was loose tie rods. Not so nice. Almost $250.00 and three hours later I have the van back. I think the oil change will wait until next payday. I went out to Walmart to pick up some groceries. As a friend would say it was just "Dammit Hot" today. I made some homemade ice cream and it was ready just as Ken and I finished the pork chops Ken grilled.
Ken goes back to work tomorrow. I will go back to working out tomorrow. I haven't worked out for so long. I am dreading going, but I know I have to. I am very glad to be home. No matter where you go east or west home is best! (Not original, but I don't know where I heard it.) My leg has really hurt today, I hope it goes away over night.
