Worth Every Mile

Posted on August 15, 2012 by Ginny O'Donnell

It wasn’t on my bucket list, so I added it just so I could check it off: Drive the whole entire length of I-65. Is that cheating, to add stuff after you’ve done it? (I kinda think so.)

This past extra-long weekend, we drove from here to Kentucky to fetch Miss Gigi, then on to Mobile, Alabama, to salute our family’s newest Eagle Scout, nephew Trevor. Recognizing his achievement was absolutely the cherry on a very soul-satisfying southern-style sundae.

When we drive anywhere, we compete to spot hawks. We’ve actually spotted a cool 40 hawks in one trip from the lake to Chicago. Oddly, we spotted only three hawks on this very, very long road trip.

But the Eagle was awesome!

About Ginny O'Donnell

After reading a really nice obituary a few years ago, I considered what they'll write about me. "She worked all day, then went home and made supper." Except now, my husband has retired, so he makes the supper. Hm. I sound kinda lazy, but I'm always busy. You'll see. Part 2: I like my original About Me, so I'm keeping it intact. But now I, too, am footloose. Let's see what happens next, shall we? Part 3: Just to keep everything in perspective, I'm keeping parts 1 and 2 intact. Now, I am actively and happily NOT so footloose, doing my thing over at Cottage Door Press. And with it being off its training wheels, I will pick up my ginnygram pen again. Love!

    Girl….You practically drove by my house in Alexander City, Alabama. If I had know, could have met up at the Cracker Barrell off exit 58…..

    Wish that Eagle Scout had shaved his stubble before the photo op ; D
