What a week !!!!

 Let's do a simple recap of my last week shall we?  Jim left last Sunday for a week of business trips that would take him through Thursday...Tues I get a call from my brother...his wife is in hospital on ventilator and they are not expecting her to pull through.  My brother (the only Free family that I have left) is in full distress mode and I tell him that I will make the trip to Ozark tomorrow (Tues).  I get everything fixed and I fill Jim in on the situation, load my car and take off for Alabama.  I have my route set and when I get to Augusta, GA, Matilda (my GPS) decides that my route is not good enough and will take too long with too much traffic.  I am re-routed to travel SouthWest thru the state of GA.  At one point I called Jim just to let him know where I was because if something had happened, I wouldn't be found for days 😨 It wasn't really that bad but definitely not interstate.  To show how "hidden" some of the roads were, I traveled for a couple of hours on the "Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway" - that should let you know that it is not traveled much or some "woke" person would be having a conniption to have the name changed.  Let's hope they never find it.   Long story short, I made it to Ozark and straight to the hospital...thank goodness she was on the upswing. Still on sedative and ventilator, I stayed until Friday morning to make sure things were looking up before I left  for Gainesville.  As of this blog, her condition has not changed, but we are still praying for full recovery.  

Now on to Gainesville where I go to Jennifer's - spend the night - up the next morning, Saturday,  with Logan in tow to Charlotte.  What usually takes 6.5 hours took almost another 2 hours because of the holiday weekend traffic and we were the lucky ones...the south bound lanes to GA and FL were almost a parking lot.  

We make it home Saturday evening and give a sigh of relief just to be back in my own bed.  Jim had a long weekend so we got to spend some time together after being apart and Logan was thrilled that Grandpa didn't have to go to work right away.  That changes tomorrow though.  Back to work.  Guess Logan and I will just have to spend our time shopping and making cookies, or that's what he tells me we are doing.  I won't argue.  We will be making memories 💓
