DAY TWO- edited*

 I am in Emporia, Virginia. In the morning I stopped for gas. Instead I went to Barnes and Noble. I just love that book store. I chose some books and sat down with a cup of coffee. PURE BLISS FOR ME! Then I continued driving. I had lunch at Ruby Tuesday. While eating I read a magazine about wood carving. It is something I have wanted to do for a long time. Anyhow I saw an ad for a woodcarving workshop. I called the store. They told me it was only 45 minutes away. I decided to go. So it took me much longer as I kept getting lost. Anyhow I found the store. Someone helped me and I bought some start up stuff. I can’t wait to try it. They told me to start by carving soap! I got back on the road. A wonderful salesman drove me to the highway so I wouldn’t get lost!!!! I drove to this area and here I will spend the night. I went to BOJANGLES for supper. YUKKY! Then I went to Walmart. I wanted to buy the new mouth wash they are advertising. It is suppose to last for 12 hours~~~~~~I’ll let you know. I also bought AUSTRALIAN DREAM which is for arthritis. I am not sure I will try it before I show it to my doctor. So that was my day. I didn’t eat much as I drove which was good. Hubby is way north in New Jersey. He said the weather was not that great and he was caught in traffic. I am sure he is NOT happy.
I HAD A MISERABLE NIGHT. I JUST COUDLN’T SLEEP. I CAN’T BELIEVE IT IS BECAUSE I HAD A SMALL CUP OF COFFEE BEFORE I WENT TO SLEEP. I OFTEN HAVE COFFEE AFTER SUPPER AND I STILL SLEEP. ANYHOW I AM GOING TO HAVE BREAKFAST IN THE LOBBY AND THEN WILL BE ON MY WAY.

very good, stay safe!

The Australian Dream sounds like good stuff. I researched it after I read it here. I thought you were going to say you stopped at Wal-Mart to buy some soap to whittle on.

Ooo, I’d love to try wood carving too! LEt us know how it goes!

I didn’t realize there was an Emporia in Virginia. My granddaughter lives in Emporia, Ks and I’m visiting her next week. My Dad taught me to carve soap. I had forgotten all about that!!! Thanks for the reminder. I have some soap that would be just right for that! Have a good trip tomorrow.

Emporia is rather close to me 🙂 I love B & N too. It’s my favorite place to go. All the books…just love it. Wishing you safe travels the rest of the way.

I love how you were super spontaneous and went and leaned about carving!
