Went to the doctor for my back. They have no clue… gave me a blood test to be sure it’s not a clot. Said they’ll call by 9 pm. Praying it’s not that!

 Philip 
No lie! Praying for the best! Almost home. Ready for a beer!











10:19pm


 
No clot. Phew

 Philip 
Awesome! Very happy to hear that!











Close but no cigar

November 29, 2014 Saturday

In an unusual happenstance, I’ve already blogged about what happened this morning!  I had one of the best breakfasts of my life and took a tour of the hometown of the blogging wizard himself, the amazing and talented Ryan Beaumont!  He is the best tour guide!  He knows the best spots and the history and just the right way to make me want to go back there!  Pop back in time to see food photos and read that entry.

I spent the rest of the day in the car, desperately trying to get home.  The traffic was awful, my back hurt, Hubby was cranky… when we got stuck behind an accident I finally gave up and stopped in Danbury, CT – 150 miles from home.  I was scared of driving the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend, but just could not go any further.  We found a lovely Courtyard by Marriott near the highway, picked up Chinese food, and collapsed.
