Newark, Delaware
Hello from Delaware! I'm on the home stretch now. One more night in a hotel room and I will be in my comfy bed next to Bill tomorrow night!!!!
Today was our longest drive yet. It was only 4.5 hours but we were on I-95S which took us straight through NYC, over the George Washington Bridge and you can just imagine the traffic! It was horrible.
I must tell a funny on my husband. We will both admit that we are not the most tech-saavy couple that most of you know. We just know the basics. However, both of us have an Ipod. And being the sweet husband that he is, when Bill charges his ipod, he charges mine too. However, he hasn't figured out how to switch the "ownership" and he always clears my playlists off my ipod and replaces them with his.
So, today, during our long drive, I got my ipod out to pass the time. As I scrolled down the songs, I didn't recognize many of them...atleast 2 dozen of them. They were such sweet titles such as "Come Back Darling", "I'm Head over Heels in Love", "Crying My Heart Out Over You", "You are My Flower", "I Still Miss Someone".
Aaah. Bill must have downloaded me some new songs to listen to. (Do you remember the days when you made or received a personalized cassette tape...that's how I felt).
So, I started playing them one by one.
Imagine my great surprise (and disgust) when I realized they were all his beloved Flatt and Scruggs bluegrass downloads that accidentally got on my ipod!!!!
After screaming, I laughed hysterically as I continued on down to "Shuckin' the Corn", "Polka on a Banjo", and "The Ballad of Jed Clampet".
My sweet husband!
Luckily, I am traveling with Eugene who enjoys R&B on the radio as much as I do.
Next time you hear from me, I'll be home with my sweet Bill and sweet Claire!

Hartford, CT
I skipped an update on Durham, NH. First, it took me a couple of frustrating hours to get on line. Second, the town reminded me of Boone, NC and most know how I feel about Boone). Third, there just wasn't enough excitement generated to blog about.
Tonight we are in Hartford, CT. I had the Leader's Luncheon in NH (it was great...please don't let my viewpoint of the town reflect on the ladies and the event) and we drove to Hartford.
After an evening in a Holiday Inn Express, I am in a Hilton tonight! Yeah! Please know that I'm not a diva, not a diva at all. It's just that since I'm away from home and on the road often, I want to sleep well and have a few luxuries of home. Nice bed linens, check. Easy internet service, check. Full service restaurant instead of a cereal bar, check! I'm sounding like a diva...I'm not!!!!
I've got to run. Eating Italian with Darlene and Chuck and Eugene tonight.
More to come on Connecticut and Delaware either tonight or tomorrow.

Burlington, VT
Hello from Burlington, VT! We made it. It was so hard to leave the house this afternoon. I got home around 6:00 pm last night and was at the airport by 2:30 pm today. Just the fact that I left in the middle of the day made it hard. I was counting down hours all morning long. Typically, I fly out of Nashville first thing in the morning, so there is very little counting down.
Our Louisville event was wonderful. This was the weekend of our big simulcast event that we prepare all year for. We simulcasted the live Louisville event to 714 churches across the nation and 5 countries and to approximately 70,000 women. So far, we have heard that everything went great!
Please pray for the "home front" this week. Bill and Claire will be fine, but we have been blessed to have 2 "visits" on Saturday by realtors and 1 visit tomorrow. One of the Saturday appointments looks really promising. I am really excited, but I had to leave everything in the capable hands of Bill. He will do perfectly fine taking care of Claire, keeping the house in tip-top shape for "visitors" in addition to working on the new house at night, but I am just a control freak! However, when I called him at 10:00 CST to say I was in Burlington, he was getting ready to vacuum the house. He is so good. He is a jack of so many trades and who ever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks. He's been a great student of how I do things!!!!
Update from Durham, New Hampshire tomorrow!
