Our Trip

I had a nice time in Tenn.
Our cabin was comfy.
The hot tub felt great.
I ate too much, but enjoyed it.
The mountains and streams are awesome.

We had hopes of seeing a black bear in the wild.
We spent several hours going up the mountain specifically for that reason.
We saw a group of Turkeys crossing a pasture, and we saw numerous deer.
We got to see farm houses dating back to the 1800's, and churches dating back to
the early 1900's. But no bear. We'd resigned ourselves to the fact that we would not be seeing
one, and feeling a little disappointed headed back down the mountain.
About 3/4 of the way down a black bear crossed directly in front of us. I screamed to boyfriend and the girls "BEAR!"
The bear stopped, looked directly at us, (and I'm sure the 4 of us looked like deer in headlights) and then continued on his way.
It was the absolute highlight of my trip.

Attorney called while I was in Tenn. and left a message to report we won the child support hearing. The judge lowered the child support by 15 bucks, and I owe exhusband no money. I haven't had the opportunity to speak directly with my attorney, but will do so tomorrow. I'm anxious to read the court order/decision.

I was happy to get back and see We-Ping. I missed her like she was one of my children, and worried about her while I was gone.
My sons did a good job of taking care of her, and they kept my flowers/plants alive. Yay!
