mini road trip

In the midst of the beginning of a lot of mom's family coming in to help after my grandmother had her stroke, I got to sneak away for a day and go on a mini road trip with the best friend. 

This is one of my happy spots.  Sitting in my car with the best friend driving. Especially when the sky is blue with happy clouds.  He would prefer to drive anyways.  The only downside for him is that I always pick the music.  :}

Hanging out up in KY with Rylie, my friends' little boy.  

And Rylie's dad Butterfly...er...I mean Tommy....!  ;)

(sorry...inside joke...)

Later we went to have a picnic dinner of delicious pizza and hung out by this creek.  That's my friend Angie from college.  She is quiet and shy when you meet her...but those of us who lived in the dorm know the other side of her...!  :}

Rylie and Michael discussing the art of rock skipping.

Great day spent with old friends on a muuuch overdue visit.  Quiet ride home on some crazy curves (.........).  Almost got hit by two deer. Saw an official URA (unidentified running animal)! Lol

Perfect. 

Thanks for letting us come see you Ang and Tommy!  Hopefully it won't be so long in between times now!
