It's been an eventful week or so. Duncan turned ten last Wednesday -- I can't believe my baby is 10!! He's had a really good birthday week, spending it at Dot Dot's house. Last Friday and Saturday I attended the CK Scrapbook Convention in Charlotte, taking classes and wandering around the vendor faire. Sunday we moved a 14' truck of hand-me-down furniture from Charlotte to Winston-Salem in blistering heat, but we have a new couch and chair, along with several wood pieces.
Then yesterday my Gatlinburg trip went up in smoke when the car suddenly demanded repairs -- it's not in the shape to drive without the repairs, and if I pay for the repairs no $$ to go to Gatlinburg. Needless to say I'm not in good humor today -- I'd planned that trip for eight months. However, I'm a hard nose about our budget, and if I don't keep us on it there will be hell to pay, so there's not much I can do.
When I saw your email about it I was literally sick to my stomach. I wish I were loaded and could spot you some $$$-- what about the bus? I don't know if you've seen Courtney's posts. Oh-- the convention!! I so want to hear about that!!
ReplyDeleteMy stomach has been in knots ever since I saw your email about this too. As you know from my many pleas and emails earlier today, I do NOT want you to miss this trip!!! You HAVE to come, even if I have to show up at your door and pick you up myself! I *can* make NC along the way from MO to TN if need be... :) lol
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that you will miss your trip. But look on the positive side, at least you got to go to the convention in Charlotte before the car broke down. :)
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, I'm so sorry about your car and having to miss the trip! That's so sad :(
