Home a day earlier than expected.

We had decided we couldn’t attend a worship service this morning because the churches didn’t begin until 10.  That would make us get into Roswell too late to visit Stacy.  We noticed the fuel prices are quite high the further east we drive.  We did fill for $3.35 in Meridian but realized things will go up from there.  When we crossed into GA and were opening the phone to call her, Stacy called us.  After talking briefly, she said that most of her family was sick with some sort of cold like symptoms.  We all decided that we didn’t want to risk our health and decided we would not stop this time.  We were in another traffic jam in Atlanta, something we didn’t expect on Sunday afternoon.  We got through it regardless and got fuel in Clayton.  The price is now $3.79, although some places are cheaper.  We were home before dark and went to the grocery for milk, bread and a bag of popped corn.  We couldn’t remember whether we had left some here to pop.  I also hooked up our Direct TV receiver but had to call for help in getting the local channels.  Yesterday we had heard about tornado possibilities in the east and were reminded of it today.  We stayed up until nearly midnight because a tornado warning had been reported for our area.  I didn’t hit here, so we went to bed and slept the night.  More is predicted for this afternoon.  I made a big mistake.  We invited 2 lady friends to go with us to the cancer survivor’s dinner that I mistakenly thought was this evening.  I was reminded that the date was the 29th.  We will go tomorrow.
