Sister Trip 2010 Part Fifteen



PART FIFTEEN
Kathy and Sueann got up and checked on Will; he had already departed.  They went and enjoyed a delightful breakfast of fruit, quiche, grits with sausage, with homemade zucchini and banana bread.  David, the owner, is a great wood worker and had samples everywhere.  Sueann gave Kathy a weed pot for her upcoming birthday.

Sueann in the driver’s seat we headed towards Pittsburgh.  The New River Gorge was a good place to take a break.  Will had the same idea and was just crossing the bridge to get back on the highway so the three of them stopped for a photo opportunity.  Will got right back on the road and Sueann and Kathy lingered a while at the visitor center and talked about the time Forrest had brought her and the kids here.  Kathy shared how her and Will had stopped here and parked under the bridge.  The final miles went quickly.  Sueann and Kathy past Will parked at a rest area and therefore beat him to Pittsburgh by several hours.

Back at Sueann’s Don welcomed us home with hugs and a vase full of roses for Sueann.  Pizza was the dinner choice.  Kathy and Sueann toasted to their Sisters' Roadtrip.  That was just about finished when Will arrived determined to make it to Beech Road so off he and Kathy went.  Just a few miles and Sueann called; Kathy had left her telephone.  A flip around of the Roadtrek, a hand-off of the phone and off to Beech Road Kathy and Will go.

Houston Fest Galax, VA

We arrived in Galax, VA and stopped at our friend, Harold's. He was just putting the finishing touches on a cake he made for his nephew.  Harold is great in the kitchen! Brenda arrived!  We had a nice meet and greet. We went to the school across the street with Brenda and Harold and met Linda who likes hugs. Each day the three of them and others from the community volunteer to prepare backpacks of food items for children who otherwise would good the weekend hungry. They have fund raisers to get money and purchase food items that children can manage for breakfast and lunch.  They also get donations.  There is a man in Florida that heard about their need for food so ships items from Amazon.com for them to distribute. They get everything organized then run an assembly line to package items. The bags are then sent to the classrooms where the teachers put them in the children's backpacks so that no one is called to any attention. Time to head to Houston Fest whose mission is to hon

Pandemic

 This has been a strange year. We arrived in Florida in March and have stayed home since. That is about 6 months now. The Covid-19 virus has set the world to be a different place with stay at home orders, restaurants and bars closed, shelves in the grocery stores empty of toilet paper and antiseptic good, virtual school and doctor visits, hospitals that don’t let visitors enter and no only emergency care, wearing a mask when you are in public and people staying six feet apart. Who knows what the new world will be like after this.

Hospital Stay to Camping Out

Update: morning started early with vitals checked every four hours, bloodwork ( interesting side note: you are given an IV port in the emergency room, but that port is not used to retrieve blood for any of the various tests once you are admitted. Instead someone comes and draws blood through a new prick hole each time. ).    I started taking a new pill, Imdur, that helps keep the arteries open. It gave me a terrible headache so I won’t be taking that again!    Went for a CT angio of the chest. Then I waited       It is now 3:00 and they are going to discharge me!!    Yippie. That was about three weeks ago. Since then life has made a 360. We bought a house!! A touchspot really because we still plan to travel. We bought a new to us PleasureWay!! We are scrubbing and painting the house. It is the best way to get to know your new space. And it makes it your own. I take it slow and sit more than I remember doing in days gone by, but we are just ma
