Weird weekend

This weekend was one for the books. Jan was in Hattiesburg on business and was supposed to catch the AmTrak back to Birmingham for me to pick her up at 2:30p Sunday afternoon. Pretty straight forward, right? WRONG!

On Saturday, I decided to go to Dad's and spend some time with him and check on the status of the house add-on. I took some pix of the progress on the add-on and they can be viewed on Flickr. We spent about a hour or so just sitting and reminiscing about me growing up and some of the stupid stuff that happened. We were both laughing our butts off. It was a thoroughly enjoyable time for both of us.

Then came Sunday, today.....

I got a call about 10:00a. It was Jan pleading for a ride home. Apparently, "someone" overslept or didn't pay enough attention to the clock. The train was scheduled to leave at 9:37a for Birmingham. At 9:30a Jan glanced at the clock and basically said, "Oops!!!!" They made a made dash to the train station. The train left on time, Jan was NOT on board!

Sooooo, her phone call to me was to politely ask me if I would like to take a nice Sunday drive to Hattiesburg to pick her up, ONLY eight hours, round trip! Yikes! Well, I came to the rescue (again) and left on the mission at 10:30a. We got back at 6:.30p. A nice drive actually, just not what I was expecting for today, LOL.
