blogging from the lobby of the Best Western in Irondale Alabama.
It's been an intense few days of 'vacation'. Landed in Nashville Tuesday PM and drove down to Memphis to our daughter's house. Had dinner, slept there, then the next morning got in the car with her and proceeded to drive to Lexington Kentucky. Visited with my sister and her family, including my 91 y/o granma who was visiting from Southern California. Thursday night we had dinner at a working horse farm. My brother in law is a handicapper for the ponies. Friday morning left and drove back to Memphis, dropped daughter off for her job, got back in the car and drove through Mississippi to Alabama.
This morning we got up early and went to Mass at EWTN. I don't know if any of you watch it, but I was on the right side near the wall, wearing a pink dress and a white hat. We wandered around EWTN, then we drove out to Hanceville and visited the Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament. I highly recommend visiting there, it is truly awesome. Tomorrow we will go to Mass at EWTN - I'll be wearing a flowered dress and a white hat if you want to look for me on TV!
Then tomorrow it will be back to Memphis, dinner and spend the night with our daughter again. Monday back to Nashville, turn in the rental car, and fly back home.
end of travelogue. substantial content to follow.
alicia, I love your blog!
I watch EWTN on broadband internet sometimes, because I don't subscribe to cable tv and it's quite difficult to get it in the UK.
I'm hoping that they air the EWTN mass on the net, tomorrow, I wonder what time it will be broadcast..what time is Mass going to be, your time, do you know?
I also wanted to comment that I am so glad for you to still have your grandmother alive at 91.
I never knew either of my grandad's and my grandmothers had passed on before I was 22.
God Bless.
Will try to stay up to watch the re-run at 11:00 tonight.
(Rats, wish I had read this yesterday!)
I'm so glad your vaction is going well and that you got to attend Mass at ETWN, as well as visit with your grandmother! How incredibly awesome she is in your life!
But the big question is, did you have some sweet tea?
