This morning we got up and headed off to Georgia around 7am. I had to be careful last night and not make reference to our trip in the blog as this was a surprise birthday party for a friend of ours and she reads the blog. I was afraid that if I made a reference to our heading GA way that she might put two and two together! So I refrained last night from mentioning that we were going to go on a day trip to GA today. We went to her son's house which is a little north of Atlanta...a big plus for us as we didn't have to get in any of Atlanta's heavy traffic. There is a time change between here and GA so we had to deal with that or we would have been late. We had been asked to be there around 11:30am Eastern time so we would get there before the birthday girl and her husband and their daughter and her family. We got there around 11:45 their time. Their son whisked off our car so they would be none the wiser that there were any extra vehicles in the driveway. Her mother and all her siblings and some of her siblings' children and grandchildren were there along with her two children and their children..lots of little children running around having a great time! It was fun to be included as the only non-family members in this gathering. Connie and Joe had lived in Tullahoma for years and about 3 1/2 years ago moved to Alabama. Connie and I were "cohorts in crime" when it came to needlework and sewing, especially! The best thing about today was that with all who knew about the party and for all the months in advance that it had been planned...no one let the cat out of the bag and Connie was VERY surprised! We had a nice visit. The trip was very pleasant both going and coming home...no rain or storms like had been predicted.
Not long after we got home Woody headed off on his daily four-mile walk. He has just returned. So I guess we are settling in for the evening after a very adventurous day (for us)!
