Sorry for the delay in letting everyone know it's all ok - but AW has me blocked, for cryin' out loud.....
Anyway - I'm here in Arkansas safe and sound. I arrived mid day yesterday.
The problem with the car was nothing major (but more than lack of gas, as SOME people insinuated....). It was something the dealer DIDN'T take care of and nothing to do with the quality of the car.
Lana and I had a chance to bond and learn about each other. She drives like a dream. I'm sooo very happy with her. The only problem I had was around 11:30 Wednesday night, in the boondocks of Alabama, on a long lonley stretch of highway. My over active imagination started to wonder what I would do if she suddenly decided she wanted to rest. Now. No people. No cell signal......Then I was trying to remember if Alabama had serial killers. THEN I thought maybe that was where all "successful" serial killers got their start. Yeah, let's just say I was very happy to finally reach Tupelo.
Last night I had a wonderful dinner (check out the recipe HERE) and lots of hugs from The Collective. AW, DH and I sat around the dinner table talking, laughing and telling stories until midnight. It was very close to being a perfect evening. Can I just say how much I love these people?!?
So today we'll chat and catch up. These babies are just cracking me up. I'm thinking of making Grandma's Apricot/Pineapple pie. I know AW will love it.
But the most important part is to just hang out. I don't know when I'll get a chance to get back down here. I have to leave tomorrow so y'all will just have to excuse me if I don't do anymore posting or visiting. THIS is important.

Posted by: shoe at January 5, 2007 06:45 PMGlad you made it through Alabama without running into any resident serial killers. Yeah, we grow 'em and then ship them out to other states. I really need to start locking my doors!

I really don't want to have to do a revenge sweep and clear on the serial killing cannibals down there :)
