Yeah! It is a miracle but I drove to Ohio to visit Mom & Dad last week and did it all by myself! I realized part way down the road that I had not gone there alone since P & I had gotten married in May 1983. Most of the time we all go together or I have had a child or 2 with me.
It was a bad time for me to be gone w/ P in the fields but schedule-wise this was the best time to go. JP stayed home and was able to be a help to P even tho he doesn’t drive on the highway yet.
I arrived Thursday afternoon and hadn’t even struggled to stay awake as I thought maybe would happen those last few hours. After supper, B&S (db & SIL) stopped by for a short visit.
On Friday, I finished the quilting on dg-nephew’s quilt and added the binding. I took Mom & Dad out for lunch for Dad’s birthday (10/23).
B & S took me to the Rubbermaid outlet store in Wooster on Saturday. We all had a list so enjoyed the trip together. Mom stayed home (she didn’t have a list!) and worked on supper and Dad was at an auction. For supper, we enjoyed the company of B&S and dnephew & his family. I think I have cute great-nephews. I got to see these two:
Sunday was church and we all went to the 11:00 service. Met D (another SIL) & P & d in the entry quick between services. After family dinner, B once again was in the driver’s seat and took S & me to JoAnn’s for fabric shopping. When we arrived back home, I showed S about cutting out the 4 patch posie pattern I had worked on at my guild workshop. (I had my quilt in progress with me and she decided to use that pattern for a Christmas table topper.)
I headed back home on Monday. My men had survived without me but were glad I was back home again. 🙂 I’m so thankful I was able to make the trip. Two years ago before I started my guai protocol for reversing my fibromyalgia, this was not possible. At that time, I couldn’t even manage the trip there w/ someone else driving.
What a blessing! Thank you, God!
and sew on...
