Thank you.... she passed away overnight or early this morning.

I didn't really know my grandmother but feel I should go to the viewing/funeral in support of my dad, aunt, and uncles.

I just map quested it... and it's a 2hr and 40 min drive each way...
and there isn't a good way to get there from here... all state highways with lots of hills and curves... in the rain this could be very interesting.

Unfortunately there is no one who can drive me... all of my brothers and sisters have a car load with their families and none of the older nieces have a driver license yet.... so.. i'm on my own.

I do have 1 cd that keeps me relaxed so i will probably play it over and over.

meds to relax or help with pain probably wouldn't be a good idea to take and drive... i'll just have to figure something out for the pain when i get back here... so if ya'll hear someone screaming very very loudly tomorrow evening it's just me.

I'm very sorry to hear about your grandma Abbie. I totally understand about the long car drives. They're very hard on me as well.

Thinking about you on that road trip today Abbie. (((Abbie)))

hi Abbie,

sorry to hear about your grandma...

I was very close to my maternal grandma...I left my native home at age 10 and never saw her since then. She passed away when I was 14...

anyways...safe travels and (((HUGS)))

I made it there and back safely but now want to cut my legs and arms off...
don't even get to rest because I have to make the same trip tomorrow... long story and not one that puts me in a very good mood.

well, i better go let the dog out and try to rest have to be back on the road by 9am.

abbie

I'm so sorry to hear about your pain Abbie. Car trips are difficult when in a lot of pain. Take good care on your trip tomorrow and rest a LOT when you return home.

Thanks for letting us know Abbie....you aren't making that trip alone today..we are all right there beside you...at least in spirit we are.

When you get home tonight..soak in a hot bubble bath! Hugs

Jingle, thank you for posting the Sweet Potato Pie recipe..if I ever get to eat dessert again, or decide to reopen the kitchen, I am gonna make it.

Je suis au regime!

My plate today is filled with hiding from the world and a large heaping scoop of guilt. Sick children, sick children, need help.

No more guilt on Doody's plate. It's time for dessert and I'm serving a big helping of a grandmother/mother's pride and love.
