Will look for you around 3 then. Maybe I'll have the chill off the house by then, SO wish I could have gotten there today, but no luck.

Sun, no need to bring your own TP. If I run out have lots of cornshucks on hand, just don't flush them, they tend to come back on you.
Since you're an hour behind me, call when you leave if you can. That can be my wake up call. Admit I've gotten lazy about rising time.

OK, feeling a bit more prepared. Currently mopping, DW running, clothes washing, dinner planned, so now I can synchronise me morning. Don't worry visitors. This is normal for me.Not a special effort, just me. I can be ready personally at the drop of a hat, but maintaining 2 (and 13 more) places takes a bit more, plus I have loads of junk to bring up, and would be more if I could do heavy lifting and had a trailer.But this is very normal for me, so you all should have no worries. I'm a packrat, always looking for a place! Love it. Just need more laundrey detergent to make all the dirties go away.
I'll finish up all my calls, plan ahead here, but think I have everything in order, and am SO looking forward to a few stress-free days. Another fault (and a big one) is I have to fill every moment with something, or usually 2 things. So feel free to stomp on me and hold me down.
Sun, MB, call or text my cell when you're close or need help. We can check in limmitatdly, since ya'll are more important than any of my business, chores, etc. Just all be well. Have a great weekend, everyone. He doesn't adjust easily.

Rubes...want me to come to your house with my uber strong 16 year olf and my mini van???? We can load all sorts of stuff if you need us.....

Don't think you can get my shite loaded in a van. First is a 100 year old primitive table, I want to put in my dining room, already have loads of variant chairs. My g'parents bought it from AJackson's wife's granmother, and it's so homely it's beautiful to me. All my late aunts and uncles ate at it, and who knows before the 50's. Want to get it there and safe, so I'll call you, but not optimistic about being able to haul it without Hubs. Same with a short church bench, built from huge slabs of wood in early 1800's. I need muscle, to go with my memories, to get them in place. I have many muscular guys in the family, so if I had everything in place, could get it done. Sure Clay and I could move them, but certainly don't want to derail you. Last time I rented a U-haul, blackmailed my young guys into the moving. They are 2 irreplaceable pieces, but cannot ask that of you.
Hubs came home with the news he's taking a 4 day weekend. So much for keeping me in the loop of his plans. I need this getaway.Arrgh

Nawwwh, sweetie. I have to be here to run the pickup, but need to get to the cabin and 'frushin' (my Momma's word) it up. Bringing my 2 hairy girls and have to be sensitive to their needs, so you can see it gets conflicted with getting there. I'VE SWORN to myself I won't overdo, just handle what I can easily, then if Hubs doesn't cooperate ( and he's being a baby today since he has to spend time alone) I'll hire movers to get my stuff moved. Have all his card info!! :H:H:H
Don't want him to sound bad. He just HATES being left on his own, and it's the biggest part of our strife. He'll get over it, or come up and join me, NOT! I always do my thing, and he knows it. But he is an irritating, needy, compassionate, generous, loving, guy, so I hate to cause him more problems than he's going through right now with work. AND, there are his parents, who he strives to overcome! :H They're trying to promote him again at work, with more responsibilities and pay, but his time there is very limited, and we agreed it's not worth the hassle for 11 months. Now, to figure out the boundaries when he's home full time. One of us needs a part-time job, and it AIN'T me!!! We obviously have things to work out, since I've been on my on for so long. When he's not whining, he's a great person to be around, and I'm the only one who can handle him. Kind of like speaking Sasquatch.
I'll check in tomorrow AM. No pity for me, please, just venting and you always know I'm OK. Setting my brain clock for early, I hope!!

Hi everyone - just got in from work and was trying to set my GPS - Rubes, it doesn't like the end of my trip! so I have had to set it for the anna ruby Falls!! I figure I can text you from there or try and follow your directions. No worries. I need to get to bed - well, have a decaf coffee and then sort the dogs out and then get to bed - it is freezing here - temps are 17 degrees! I just checked out Helen's weather - 90% chance of rain for Saturday! Guess I will be hiking in the rain!! Good job I am waterproof!!

Night all - sleep well,

love, Sun XX

Yes Rog - we will all let you know when we have arrived - if Rubes can post from her iphone thingie - thanks for the concern!! :l

Sun, don't know which way you're coming in to Anna Ruby, so hard to tell you from here. If I call you in the morning on your cell is it long distance for you? Closer landmarks are Stovall Covered Bridge, The Old Sautee Store, but if you get to Anna Ruby we've got it made!

Hi Everyone. It's a very happy Mish who writes to you tonight. Ashe and I hit the Mall on our own today and had the best time. I don't remember if I told you I'd bought her a diamond and saphire ring...I think I did. She absolutely loves it. We went to the jeweller to have it resized and then hit the shops finishing with the Op Shop. We were out for about three hours and I can't remember a happier day, but I'm absolutely shot right now. I'm going to have an early night as tomorrow is gardening day at Mother's and I'm going to be there by 7 am. It's going to be another stinker.
Anyway, love to you all and have a great day.
Love and hugs.

Love and hugs to all - Ruby I will call you soon - I thought you were an hour behind us and I hate to call you so early! Yes, it is roaming for me - I don't have a long distance plan for my cell 'cos I never go anywhere! ROTFLMBO!!

Safe trip to me !

love Sun XX
