Last year, my son moved out west to Portland. It's a long way to be away from one of your very own, but he likes it out there and is happy. What more can a mother want? So... I am making a trip out west to see him. It will be an adventure to me - not ever being out in the Northwest, barely ever crossing the Mississippi, makes this an epic adventure in traveling for me.
A few adjustments to be made - June weather is not the same in the northwest as it is in the southeast. I think I can live with the highs in the 60s and 70s, but no cooler, thank you.
One of the big excitements for me is to travel on several different modes of transportation - stay tuned!
I look forward to posting about my travels as I cross the country and get a taste of a different part of our country.

Whirlwind trip to big city
Friday, I took a personal day from work - one I seldom take as most of the days I take are taking Mom to doctor or one of us being sick. But I drove to Atlanta early Friday and got to meet my dear son's girlfriend's parents. Delightful to meet and hope it is one of many times we have an opportunity to spend time together. The evening time gave us an opportunity to meet up with my friend Beth and her sister in law and we ate at a local restaurant. What an enjoyable Friday!
Early Saturday, we drove to the cathedral to hear Barbara Brown Taylor speak on the Sabbath. Lots to chew on in terms of our culture and what we have done or not done in terms of observing that sacred time. Needless to say, a bookstore was right there in the cathedral and I succumbed to temptation in a good way. Was modest in my purchases, knowing full well there will be a next time. I will share one of the books I purchased later in another post as I get a grab on what it means to me and how it will impact me spiritually.
On the way home, I could have done without a car accident, but happened it did and fenders took the brunt of the damage. Safe, I am home - not quite sure how I made it home as I was exhausted from the tension of the accident. But made it home I did.
