First stop - Savannah, GA...ate lunch at Paula Deen's restaurant and took a trolley ride later around the city. So fun! Got on the road afterwards and stayed at a motel that night.
Second Day - arrived in Vincennes, In. and decided to look over Bunker Hill where our gramma once lived but that place was gone, same with Aunt Mini and Aunt Mami's home and then on to our old neighborhood to see where our home once stood. 😞 Everything had changed so much! Then we went to Walmart where we stopped and said hi to Tammy who is Steve Todd's wife. We thought about staying at their cabin but never got around to it.
Next stop was Joe and Marianne's home where we spent the day. We stayed over night. Marianne is not well so we didn't want to overstay our visit but sure did enjoy their company as always. Sometimes the tables change and now it's Joe's turn to care for his sweet wife Marianne. I have always admired their marriage and its lasted for will say 65 yrs.?
Next morning we decided to visit an old friend that my older sisters knew when growing up in the PearOchard.....her name was "Sharon Shaffer." I never hung out with any of my sisters as a youth. I do remember her a little and like the rest of us, she is getting older and not so healthy. She had a picture to share with Donna, it was really cool seeing that! By the end of the day we were exhausted and headed back to Joe and Marianne's for a good nights sleep.
We packed up next morning and headed to Washington a small city outside of Vin. to visit Olive, Donna's sister in law. She is also up there in age, like late 80's. Her nephew lives with her and he was such a nice kid. Wish had got to meet him earlier "he had just met a girl" and he is around Jen's age. Really a nice kid!
Afterwards we headed to visit Roscoe and as always he's still working and totally amazes me. Then on to Sarah's to visit and spend night. Sarah took us out to a pizza place that evening in her small little town called Sullivan. I wondered if I would ever be able to live in such a small little place but it did have a Walmart. haha!
Last stop was a visit to Sarah's office next morning where she works for four hours a day. She gives out titles for death documents and etc..We visited with Kim at the bank where she works. And then after that we finally headed out but took our time coming back home with a different route to see some sights! We really wanted to see some secenary but really just ended up seeing mountains and pretty greenary. Going through Virginia, we spent another night at a motel and then on home. It was ALOT of driving for Bump and he drove the whole thing!!! I have to say here that he is amazing!!! He drove with such unbelievable ease and never once complained about traffic or Bump truly is "REALLY" the best driver I have ever rode with..EVER..beating all!
