Day 1 – Never Too Old for a Road Trip

So for those who follow our travels from year to year, you will not be surprised to learn that once again Mother Nature threw us a curve ball. Months of planning and preparation and all it took was about 12hrs of snow and ice to shut down Greensboro and cancel our flight. Sounding familiar to you 2010 travelers? Well this time it happened during the day as people were already on their way to check in to our overnight hotel (NOT the Roach Motel of last year but a Hampton Inn no less). We were to have our now traditional team dinner, one last hot shower, a good night’s rest and awaken excited for the week ahead in our  “little piece of heaven”….yeah, not so much! Read More

Day 7 – Last Day of Clinics

Day 6

Good evening to all on this, our 6th day!

Hard to believe we are nearing the last day of clinics! Last night proved to be a nice cool night- even a bit chilly (Kez would be proud). Sleeping was good until our feathered friends awoke….as always. Again, I am beginning to become accustomed to the morning serenade but not so much that I will actually miss it. And last night I thought Blaud’s tonsils were regrowing, but in fact it turned out to be a young Whitehead…luckily he rolled and there was again peace in our little corner of the world. Read More

Day 5

Good evening to all on Wednesday night,

Last night after I closed we all had dinner in our room – delicious beef jerky, tuna and crackers, trail mix and cokes. Actually, we were all mostly full from lunch and the snacks hit the spot. So with full bellies we launched into a game of tootsie roll Texas Hold-em and a quick game of bull-$#!t before the lights went out on our little party. We missed you Jenny! Read More

Day 4

Again, a pretty good night sleep for most and the roosters did give us an extra 36 minutes sleep….according to Jil, they sounded off at exactly 4:36 this morning. Read More
