Readjustments

 

It was a good idea and a much-needed break.

We would spend the weekend in North Georgia, anchored at a vrbo (vacation rentals by owner) near Athens.

Step one was to drive to Milledgeville and see our son at Georgia College State University.  If his homework was under control, he would come with us.  The vrbo we rented had two problems.

As we were parking near Benjamin's dorm, we got the message - the owner had to cancel our stay because the fuse box went out and would not be repaired until after the weekend.  We were all dressed down and no place to go.

No matter.  We would readjust.  We made reservations to stay at a motel in Milledgeville and travel up to see points north from there.

As soon as we settled into that motel room, the whole motel lost water.  We went to Benjamin's dorm room to "freshen up." Later that evening, the water was back on.

The projected weather was rainy, so we didn't know how much we could see.  We adjusted our plans to indoor things, but by the afternoon, it had cleared up enough for us to take in the State Botanical Gardens.

In fact, the sun was out and hot, and we were dressed wrong for that, but we readjusted the best we could.

All in all, for all the readjustments we had to make, we had a good time.  It was a nice visit with our son and seeing new and familiar places, even if we didn't get as far north as originally planned.

Biggest surprise - did y'all know that Covington, Georgia, had been taken over by Vampire Diary fans?  They were all over and had big tour groups and such.  Apparently, the show is filmed in Covington, disguised as Mystic Falls.  And here I thought Covington was famous for being the film location for The Dukes of Hazzard?  Times and circumstances readjust everything, I guess.

Speaking of readjusting, this is my first post since Monday, March 22nd.  No matter how I plan to accommodate my blog writing, things happen to mess that plan up, and I have to readjust.

Be patient.

I will get my groove back.

Somehow.

Stay safe,
