Today we are headed out to the great eclipse event in Tennessee. We have our bags packed, our picnic supplies in a cooler, our rent car to pick up at noon, and we are off. Today should see us just get out of Texas before stopping for the night. To me, this is a wild and crazy trip we are taking--one that I would never have dreamed of doing on my own. But because we have surrounded ourselves with crazy (I mean adventurous) people like Avis and Harry, we are all in on this. I think this is one reason we should all have good friends--they fill in our gaps, push us to things we wouldn't do ourselves, and make all of it so much fun. Last night at dinner as we were making our final plans for the trip with them, we learned they had purchased a house in Comanche--beautiful house on 8 acres with barn and tank. I casually mentioned it seemed like a long commute from Comanche to Georgetown for work, and they said oh no, this is their "country" home but they will still live in Jerrell--now that's kind of crazy to me but we will benefit by getting invited to go to their "country" home with them no doubt! Avis also showed me a picture of a 128 year old covered wagon that she also bought--she's going to make it into a chuck wagon! That's also a bit crazy to me--but fun! I'm sure a horse will come next to pull it--she'll be in every parade in Texas with that thing!
So, you can see that we are looking forward to this trip because wild and crazy things will happen on it no doubt! Tomorrow will be Avis and Harry's anniversary so we will celebrate that in Tennessee tomorrow night. Hopefully we will see the Watts while we are there--another crazy thing--to travel that distance to meet up with family. I'm thankful today for family, friends, and this wild and crazy life I get to live. I won't get anymore posts done while I'm gone, but I know new things will be happening as we go along so stay tuned!
