We’re back home after a marathon road trip to attend the funeral of Barbara’s cousin in St. Mary’s Georgia. The church service was in St. Mary’s Georgia and the graveside service was in Jacksonville, Florida.
By the time all was said and done we had gone through 5 states, traveled 1100 plus miles, driven 18 plus hours in two days, had to pull over once because of blinding rain, and had some drama with the car – of course!
One thing you can say with certainty about Little Graybeard life is always interesting. We were 6 miles from home, it was 11:30 pm and we pulled in to get gas. Once finished we headed out, turned left onto the on ramp for the highway and the car just shut down. No warning, no dash lights, nothing, and I mean nothing. Exactly what it had done once before in Florida. What to do? Cross your fingers, put it in Park and try to restart it. Thankfully, like the last time it started right up with no issues. Remember the report about the Corvair Unsafe at any Speed? The title for this car would be Unpredictable and Unreliable In Every State. Oh, if only I could get rid of this car I would in a heartbeat.
Request please, prayers for my mom who lives in New Bern, NC right on the north or dirty side of the coming hurricane. She will probably have to evacuate tomorrow by noon. We do hope after all is said and done that not only will she be safe but that she will also have a home to go back to.
Time to go. Where ever you are be safe. We’re kicking back on Tuesday and giving ourselves some time to recover from our trip. I just don’t seem to bounce back as quickly as I used to from road trips like this. Could I really be getting older?
As always, if you are coming to the end of your day with concerns and worries, let me suggest that you turn them over to God. After all, He is going to be up all night so why not let him handle them for you.
Time now for our evening prayers and eventually some shut-eye. Till tomorrow.
These are the voyages of Graybeard and it’s occupants, four paws and two humans. Our continuing mission: to explore as many new states as possible, to seek out new acquaintances and make new friends, to boldly go where we have not been before
"On The Road of Retirement" 
Glad you had a safe trip even with Little Graybeard acting up. Prayers going out for your Mom and all people in the line of this hurricane. Sounds really ugly.
