Shawn/AFLAC called me last night as she was heading into KY; I told her to be careful on the back roads (KY is nationally known for its poor maintenance), and she told me that at that time she hadn't seen any adverse wx, but temps had already dropped.

Gutsy lady, driving solo all that distance! :eek:

That is the same call I got about 2130 last night, Bill........

She called here last night, but I was sleeping. Hopefully she did stop last night and get some sleep.

She called me too and said that she had three hours left to go on her trip. I was on the phone when she called so she left a message. I did text her this morning to she if she had arrived safely. So far no response, but I bet she is sleeping.

I am surprised she (Shawn) is calling us, especially Jeremy... if you don't mind me asking, Jeremy... no one in your house is wondering who the individual was on the phone with you at 9:30 pm?

First off, Tom, my folks had no problem with it...second:

It's great that she several of you to be able to check-in with. I just hope that she is careful with the storm on Christmas Eve. Hopefully, she'll just stay put and much of it would've cleared by them time she is ready to return home. She'll be experiencing a White Christmas!

Jeremy, I read that thread, (as I do just about every thread.. I scan through those that are lengthy and not as interesting).

If I weren't the way I was; and was for some reason living with them, as I do... I suppose it would be a different situation. I have talked with some people I met online a couple times back in the spring before than, only family members for several seconds to a minute or two. I am not sure what to say on the phone, even worse in person.

Glad to hear Shawn made it to her destination safely.

Hey gang!

My grandmother does in fact have online access (Yay!) and I'm here downloading Adobe Acrobat so she can view some application files online for her work she does. Thought I'd peek in while I had the time and opportunity.

You guys are great! Thanks for the hugs, prayers, and well-wishes. As reported above, I made it without incident. I'm glad I got to hear Garrett's voice on his voice mail, but I'm sorry to say, I didn't get a text message. I think when I dropped to a basic calling plan (since I hardly use my cell), I lost text messaging. I used to get breaking news on my phone also, and I don't get that any more. I need to call and check. Great to hear Bill and Carrot Top's voices! Jeremy was swell with construction info for me on I-65 and BG Pkwy. And Linda just has the cutest little hoarse Mississippi accent I've ever heard.

Seriously, I hope your throat is feeling better. I appreciate being able to talk to you guys along the way. I was glad to make it all in one long shot instead of having to stop along the way. Once I got to the KY/TN border, I knew I was close enough that I really didn't want to stop, get a room, and pay out $30, $40, whatever bucks when all I had was another 3 hours to go.

I've had some great visits with family and friends so far. Getting ready to go to the mall and see what my grandmother has picked out for me (she wants my approval before she buys it

). The snow has pretty much all melted and it's raining now. It's predicted to rain all day and possible snow tomorrow, but mostly in the mountains. Haven't had a chance to read through all the posts here yet and I'm not sure when I'll get to catch up. But it could be a white Christmas here.

Adobe's about done so I'm gonna sign off now. I'll check in with Linda again before I head out. Maybe I'll get a chance to peek in here again before my visit here is over.

Take care, everyone, and have a great Christmas! ((((((((((Hugs to all))))))))))))

Yay! Glad you're doing well. Check back in if you can!
