Well, Dad’s intention was to leave Chattanooga by 10AM today (Saturday, 06 July). He got up early washed sheets, did some last minute packing and took a shower…then we headed over to Niedlovs to see Dad’s BFF Mike McConnell for breakfast and final thoughts. They reviewed the route and last minute details. Mike had the business cards for my blah that were delivered to him. And we came home for Dad to change the sheets and do some last minute cleaning including the kitchen and the bathroom. Well, I left Dad a little surprise this morning while he was in the shower…my stomach has been a bit uneasy and I just had to go to the bathroom…I violated my cardinal rule never to do my business, either #1 or #2 in the house. As you may have guessed, I left dad a present on the carpet next to the dining room table…and when he went to check the pillowcases that were drying he…stepped in it. needless to say, Dad was pissed…I mean really pissed. I just looked at him trying to convey that I couldn’t help it…but I dont think he got the message. Anyway, out came the carpet cleaner…then he had to clean the bathroom…and sterilize the floor and bathroom. Needless to say, we did not get off at 10 as expected…hoping for noonish…
So…we will be driving out…dropping off cards at the Rock Creek stores on the Noreth Shore and Amnicola Highway…and then north. Targeting Omaha, NE for our first night on the road but we will see…
So, we are leaving shortly…I wanted to get something posted for the trip. An inauspicious start to a fabulous journey…and I see a long nap in my future!
(OK…Doug note: Several have commented about Maggie’s spelling in this post. OMG! She is a dog…hard enough to type with paws…and dont get her started on spell-check. Anyway, thought I would provide insight…Doug
