So, Leah and I went this past week-end to Hawk's Bluff. We left our house in Sunrise at around 6:30 PM EST. Stopped briefly twice, for refueling and bathroom breaks an got there at 6:oo AM EST (or 5:00 AM CST).
Melissa and Ralph, from the Way Inn, had room 19 open, with a light, and warmed up waiting for us. Although my co-pilot had slept on and off (more on than off) on the way up; we both hit the hay immediately for a nap...

Got up about 7:30 AM, grabbed a couple of biscuits with bacon and egg at the Way Inn little store and header for the house. There has been progress, but I am afraid that not enough for it to be finished for this coming Saturday.
The interior work is progressing aggressively but there is till lots of work to do...
After being in the house for about one hour, Leah and I went to Dee and Phil's house and visited with them, warm and nice, and the Perez (they all had had an ugly battle with Seagram's the night before and were still trying to understand which way was up...)
Later, we went to Cookeville and had lunch at Sam's club; on our way home stopped by the Sparta Wal-Mart (obligatory stop) and got back to our hotel room in tome to watch, in total, the severe and humbling whooping the Gators gave Satan and his Crimson (now black-and-blue) Tide...
We left our house at precisely 10:00 AM EST Sunday morning and pulled into our Sunrise driveway at 9:00 PM EST. We made the 810 miles in 11 hours, an average of 73.6 MPH (including two stops!)
Jan and I are going back this Saturday; we reserved two rooms (one for us and one for Chris) at the Way Inn for Saturday since the floors may still be fresh; I will be coming back on Sunday (flying) and Jan stays... We are having the phones installed on Monday, the alarm on Tuesday and the Satellite TV on Friday.
