Today
We had a hell of a day yesterday taking our son Jared to the Atlanta
airport. Other than picking him up the end of the month, I will be
perfectly content to never see it again. The customer service was
horrible for someone there for the first time and even though we were
there an hour before flight time, he missed his flight. The lines for
security were soooo long. In the process of running to try and get
there before the flight left, I managed to lose my driver's license. I
had it in my hand with his boarding pass and my pass to be out in the
secure zone. I didn't want to mess with my purse through security so
only took my driver's license. Anyway, it was a very stressful day and
a very hot ride on the way back as the temps got into the mid-90's and
humid before the storms.
A Cherohala View
Today,
Rick decided he wanted to go somewhere instead of just staying home. He
asked me where I wanted to go and I said the mountains. The much nicer
weather today was the drawing agent to get out. We decided to go on the
Cherohala Skyway again. It is one of the prettiest drives we have been
on and this has been our 4th time since we moved to this area. It goes
over a mile high and the temps there were actually cool and we had to
partially close our windows. We picked up stuff at the grocery store on
the way for a picnic lunch and enjoyed it with a beautiful view.
Here is a link to a slideshow of the Cherohala Skyway.
If you ever can go on a drive over it, I highly recommend it. We
decided to come back a different route this time (usually we go through
Murphey, NC). We came back on US 129 heading towards the Maryville
area. Now that was beautiful, but it was a stressful road to drive on.
It has bunches and bunches of hairpin turns and no guard rails. There
are drops for hundreds of feet straight down the mountainside in some
spots. It may have been our last trip on that particular stretch of
road. There were motorcyclists galore on it and even filming crews to
film them as they made their adventurous trek. You can read more about
that here. Even though
it was not as pleasant as the Cherohala, we still had a lovely Shabbat
today enjoying the beauties of our Father's creation.
Love and shalom,
Serena
