Barbara left us today

It seems like just yesterday that we were driving down to BWI airport to pick up Barbara.  The old saying that "time flys by when you are having fun" really was true for this visit.  We were busy from early in the morning to late at night and still didn't get to see her that much.

She had a 7:25pm flight on Southwest Airlines to Charlotte, NC and we left Cassie's house around 4:15pm to make the long drive down there.  The trip was fast since we were going against the rush hour traffic for most of the way and there weren't any accidents or stops along the highway.  That isn't always the case with I-70 heading East with all the construction and crazy drivers out and about on the road.

We managed to arrive at 5:30pm and dropped her off at the Southwest Airline curbside check in spot.  It wasn't that busy there and she said she breezed through the line.  We said our goodbyes at the curbside before the transit police ran us off.  BWI is very strict on how long you can park in the area.



Barb, we miss you and love you dearly.  Come back anytime and visit with us.  We had a great time.

Cassie, Barbara & Gerry worked on card crafting for three afternoons and made a ton of original cards.  They decided on a card design and each made the cards from the agreed upon design.  I did my part by staying out of the way and letting them do their thing.

Busy as busy can be.

Look at the mess in the motorhome.
  

Here are some of their creations.  I took the photos, but it was difficult to capture the color of the cards and also taking them on a flat surface with my digital camera wasn't that great.   However, you can get an idea of what they look like, even though this is just a few of the cards.  Maybe if you are lucky, one of them someday will be yours.









Thursday it will be back to normal up here on the mountain.  I have to take the Saturn down to have a wheel alignment and probably a couple new tires.  It turned over 125,000 miles today on the way back from the airport and it's time for the tires.  I think they have over 50,000 miles on them and are wearing out.  If I have time, I will also get an oil change while I am out.  Never an end of ways to spend your money it seems.

Once again it is muggy and foggy here on the mountain.  It seems that the rain has followed us from North Carolina and won't leave us.  We are getting too much rain and the Southwest too little.  Too bad there isn't a way we could send them a few inches of rain once a week.  It would help both areas.

I probably won't be blogging for a few days since we are taking a little trip.  We will be staying with relatives and they may think it is rude to put my nose in the computer all the time.  

That's what we have been up to lately, what about you?

  1. It is hard to say goodbye but hopefully you'll be saying hello again sometime soon. Those cards are beautiful. The ladies did a very impressive job.

  2. My favorite card I have from y'all is from two Christmas's ago with the mobile home, Christmas lights and cactus!
