Last week, I drove up to Leesburg, VA (with my daughter, Chelsea) for my son’s wedding; it was 40 degrees when I arrived Friday, May 24th, and I had packed shorts and tank tops! I had 2 pairs of long pants, but the day of the wedding it was a beautiful day for a garden wedding. I had so many people telling me what a wonderful young man Evan is, which is always nice to hear. I love my new daughter-in-law, they are very well suited for each other. I drove home alone, leaving at around 6 pm the day of the wedding. I arrived in North Carolina around 11 pm, woke up the following morning (Sunday, the 26th) at 10:30 am and headed home. Arrived Monday morning (the 27th) at 5:30 am. I had such a wonderful, bittersweet time…missed Bobby a lot; we were supposed to go together. My daughter’s husband wasn’t able to go either; he is underway with the Coast Guard for 3 months.

Strange thing happend on my way home from North Carolina; I was driving at night and I was the only car going my direction. It was really dark and I had slowed my speed down. Suddenly I saw 2 deer on the side of the road, I prayed that they wouldn’t jump in front of my car, which they didn’t do, thank God. But, further on, in my lane were an armadillo AND a possum. I had no time to swerve to avoid them…thunk, thunk…I hit them both   I think that the armadillo had already been hit and the possum was feeding on the carcass, either that or they were ‘friends’. I felt horrible that I hit them, took me a while to shake that feeling off.

Once I download the pictures from my camera, I might post a picture or two here on my blog.

Today, I’m back at work; was really looking forward to returning. The problem is, I only got about 2 or 3 hours sleep. I had difficulty falling asleep, I was really restless for some reason. Now I’m kinda ‘droopy/sleepy’, but I’ll be okay. I’ve still got some ‘junk’ to put away from the trip, but other than those few papers, I’m ‘settled’ back in to being home.

So very happy and blessed with the new Mr. and Mrs. Evan Pelletier!
