Taking Mom to visit family

2nd attempt! Mom woke up feeling OK and asked if there was time for her and Anna to eat lunch at the Senior Center before we left. Thought that was a good idea, when Anna came, Mom got washed up, dressed and they left for Winter Springs. John and I finished packing the RV at 1230, ran up to Publix for a few items, and we left at 1335. Not horribly later than our 1200 theoretical goal. Drive was uneventful except for some heavy rainstorms along the way. Made our way through Jacksonville at 1600, thus missing their rush hour, which was John's goal for today! Arrived at Lake Harmony RV Park in GA at 1730. We had a take out menu for a local restaurant and were excited to see a Greek salad w/ anchovies! but when we called.....no driver. Since we are not towing a car this time, and we didn't want to drive the newly hooked up RV over there, we ate in. I enjoyed a glass of wine w/ my meal. :-) Then John walked across the path to the lake and fished for awhile, Mom watched some TV (the Catholic station!), and I took a walk. Bedtime came early. Mom took a pain pill but is now tucked in for the night. John worked on his bid for a bit, and I decided to revisit my blog site.

Mom was in good spirits for the ride, she slept most of the time. We plan to wake up around 7, shower, eat some breakfast, my guess Mom will have cottage cheese and fruit :-), then leave by 0900. Expect to drive 8 hours tomorrow and stay in northern NC.

Mom had a good day, she is fine. All is well.
