Mom got sick last night and this morning she was no better, and couldn’t even join us on our trip to the Sheets Grandparents in North Carolina!
So, per her instruction, we covered her with some extra blankets, gave her some Gatorade and Dad, Jess and I hit the road. Two-and-a-half hours later (with one bathroom stop in there for DAD, not Jess or Stevan!!!) we arrived safely in Greensboro, North Carolina. (Usually a 3+ hour trip – Dad was in a hurry, I guess?!)
Moments later we were inside visiting with my Grandpa Sheets, Uncle David and Aunt Bea! Moments after THAT my Grandma arrived with my Great-Grandma Story in the car who instantly exclaimed to me, “You look like Sherilyn!”
What a compliment!
I mean sure we have almost the same shoe-size, but “You look like Sherilyn!”?!??!?!?!??
We had a great time in North Carolina visiting and eating and visiting and playing 20-Questions (turns out that Mom and Dad are giving those little games out to EVERYONE because they are STILL the coolest things in the world!) Don’t know what I’m talking about? Click here.
We all also got to talk to Sherilyn on the phone all the way in Bosnia again today! Good times.
After an amazing dinner by my Grandma, we helped clear the table and headed South again.
When we got back home (again, in 2.5 hours!), we filled Mom in on the happenings of the day and now are ready to “hit the hay”, as they say down here!
Tomorrow I will now be taking Jess to her Day Spa at the West End Spa in Greenville. I will do a little window-shopping during the Spa and then pick her back up afterwards. Mom was going to be along side her during the whole thing, but she is just not going to be better in time! She’ll reschedule HER spa for another date.
On Wednesday, Jess and I will hit the road again and head Northward! (ugh, snow again so soon?!)
We will be stopping somewhere in Kentucky where we have learned our lesson and RESERVED a room in a Holiday Inn!
It’s amazing to think about how quickly this time has FLOWN by here in the wonderful South!
We’re calling for rain and temps in the 40’s.
Oh and by the way, you could of checked at their local library to see if they had wireless setup, ours does!!!!
Glad you’re having a wonderful time with family. Hope your mom gets to feeling better before you head out.
Love to all,
Momma Sweeny
Hey there, Stev and Jess…I am amazed that you are keeping up with your daily log. What a blessing it is for us that have been praying for your traveling safety and enjoyed time while there is Spartanburg. Sounds like you have had a wonderful time. It was VERY nerve wracking until we heard that you finally did arrive on Boiling Springs soil !!! Make sure you eat a lot of yogurt to help you with staying healthy. A friend reminded me that I need to be doing that all the time. It is known to help with immunity. I love reading your daily log. I am axiously awaiting your pictures. I have a goal to try to set up a website in a couple weeks. I don’t have a clue about what to do. I will have to walk through the helps and do best I can.
Love and hugs.
Addition: Can’t believe that Great grandma said you look like Sher. That is just tooooo too funny!!! Hardy, Har, Har. You just aren’t that ‘cute’….
but OH!!!! so handsome. You look so like you!!!
