My annual scrapbooking retreat coincided beautifully with Jacob Jones' baptism and Maggie Jones' blessing and me having lots of vacation hours saved up. It was clear that I had to attend. So, one Friday afternoon, I flew to Michigan. My wonderful trip was slightly complicated by having strep throat and flu but I went to the doc, took my meds and was assured that it would pass quickly and I would not pose any risk to my family. So off I went. I arrived late Friday night. Saturday Morning, 7 of us piled into Tina's rented van for the trip to Huntsville Alabama. Our party included, Marah Golding, Maddie Golding, Bailey Golding (also recovering from strep), me, my Mom and Dad (Linda and Dave Hansen) and our fearless driver, Tina Golding. With Bailey and I aboard, it was kind of like the plague van! We had a great drive, with lots of great scenery and conversation.
Marah was so sweet and would not allow me to change places with her in the back to give her a break. She's a great big sister but I think the little ones were a bit trying for her in such close quarters! My throat was hurting a little worse than before but I thought I was just tired. Just before we arrived and Mickey and Mary's house, we stopped and picked up some of our favorite BBQ at Whitts and then enjoyed a family meal with the Jones's.
