Over the weekend I took a 1,300 mile road trip–longest one by myself yet! (I got 48 mpg on my Tuscaloosa to Virginia stretch!)
It was glorious. I drove through states I’d never driven myself through (Tennessee and Alabama are beautiful)! Also, Alabama has the worst roads I’ve ever driven on, and their speed limits in construction zones are bizarre and not really followed (I had a plan in case I got pulled over–head straight to the police station to officially complain about the Bama Craziness).
I held a baby lamb for the first time. Kristy chased one down that was too young to really run, scooped him/her up, and then the Mama came running. I was a bit concerned about being bitten–but we all lived to tell about it.
Saturday evening I was reminded why playing tennis barefooted is a bad idea for any length of time, but I don’t regret it in the least. Then, four of us gathered in the kitchen (where all things good happen) and made homemade pizza! (Thanks to Lissy I now know how to quickly make pesto!)
Sunday I experienced the lingering hints of prohibition. Four stops later, I walked out the door with pink champagne in hand! The reason for the champers? I got to attend a friend’s graduate violin recital at the University of Alabama (hurrah for having talented friends!)!
