The day we left for Texas ~ 8/3/09 ~ One long day!!

Mom woke me up at 7:00 (I think) and I did my morning routine and the she took me to Midland City to meet Grandma there (to pick me up). Grandma and I are on our way and we are somewhere between Montgomery and Troy and we are listening to the Bible conference tapes from her church (Grace Missionary Baptist Church).

We ran into some rain a few miles into Mississippi and it was a heavy rain. You couldnt see in front of you b/c of all the rain. A car almost rain into Grandma b/c she pulled out in front of it (even if she denies that it happened) and the car honked its horn (Grandma didnt hear it b/c of the rain hitting the windshield but, I did). Its 2:27 and the GPS says that we will be in Tyler, Texas at 8:12.

Momma, do I drive like Grandma????? She tails people, runs up on the tails of people & she scares me half to death. Do I drive like that?????

We got into Lousiana @ 3:20. I've been texting Deanna (sister in law) as to our whereabouts and I think that she likes that. I just told her (through texting) that Grandma suggested that we go as far as we can go today and Deanna texted me back and said that that was a good idea.

Much debate on hwere to stay for the night. We decided on going through Shreveport, La and we are going to stay in Marshall, Texas @ exit 617. Grandma might tail people, she might and she might get on the white lines and even on the thumoers but, she gets us to our destination quickly.

Its 6:07 (according to Grandma's radio clock in the car; my phone says 6:22) and we are about to be in Shreveport, LA. If we continue and dont stop, we will be in Tyler by 8:25

(In Texas ..... I think) Grandma is asking me about the 220 west bypass, the industrial bypass and the greenwood exit. I told her not to worry about those but (b/c we didnt need to), she asked me anyway.

Well, we arrived at Mrs. Bell's house at/around 7:30 and we had a nice visit. I miss Mom and Dad alot. I want to cry but, I know that that wont do any good. I have some note cards in my computer bag and maybe I can write down the verses that I know on them tonight. I know that I can read. I have lots to do without the internet!! I need to learn to survive without it cause one day I might have to.

I am forgetting about my package from Klaus!!!!! I wonder what he is mailing me?????

I think that I am going to call it a night and go read. Good night!!!!!
