I think i spelled gingle wrong, didn't I? DUH…it begins with a "J"!

My favorite picture of Nelle. I posed in the same spot for the same shot!

Let me tell you about the two Gremlins that appeared and woke me up at 6:00 am last Thursday morning!! Kyle, if you remember is 7.5, nearly 8 years old, while Lauren is a close second at 6. They thought it was really funny when I jumped about 10 feet off the bed in sheer fear! It was a blast!!
We then went out to see Casper. His bed, the LL BEAN Deluxe Orthopaedic pet couch cost more than my bed, but I digress…
Casper "christened" the 7th hole on the golf course where Julie and Troy live. GOOD BOY!!''' Troy and I drove the kids to school…i looked HOT in my electric blue jammie bottoms and a tshirt!! Eh, what did I care…it's South Carolina!!
Here are some reasons why you really need to pick your traveling companion wisely:
  1. Dogs never condemn you when you get lost. 
  2. Dogs never bug you to stop so they can tinkie, stinkie or want to buy something.
  3. Dogs sharing your bed think sleeping together is always fulfilling.
  4. Family will drive you crazy for periods of time greater than 20 minutes in the car.
  5. Your best friend will definitely get on your nerves, no matter how close you are.
  6. A husband will not see the importance of stopping to get a picture of a humungous peach watertower.
  7. Boyfriends..'nuff said! Hotel Sex…ugh!!
  8. Dogs will encourage you to eat fast food. 

Here are some key points: 
  • Total Mileage: 3,843 
  • Total Time Away from home: 162 hours
  • Total Sleep while away: 77 hours
  • Average MPH: 77
  • Average Temperature: 87
  • Total time behind the wheel: 88 hours (including stops)

Casper listening to story hour with Sam Clemens!


Walt, Walt…you are with me wherever I go!

Welcome...

In celebration of the 2010 "Big Read," I have decided to pursue the chance to meet the author of the "Big Read," Nelle Harper Lee. The Pulitzer Prize winning novel, "To Kill A Mockingbird" was Lee's first and only attempt at publishing a novel, yet it remains one of the world's most infamous piece of literary content. Translated into more than 40 languages, Lee's story of justice, family, ideology and humanity has transcended generations in the 50 years since it was first published.

I invite you to join my journey, combining a bit of Walt Whitman, John Steinbeck, my dog, Casper and myself as I set my sites on Monroeville, Alabama with copy in hand of "TKAM" in hopes I am privileged to meet Ms. Lee.

Along the way, this blog will be updated daily, filled with pictures and tales of family and friends I meet up with along the way. Casper, I'm hoping, will be a constant ice-breaker toward people I might not have ever uttered a word.

I have a listing of unique places to pop in: The Lunch Box Museum, walk the staircase from "The Exorcist" sit atop Einstein's lap, see the world's largest peanut, visit the Laurel and Hardy Museum, South of the Border, The Land of Oz, The Big Acorn, the giant ice cream bowl with spoon, the Shoeless Joe Jackson statue, the cancer survivors plaza and other places my ipod app directs me to!

Stay tuned...
