I did a lot of driving this week! Of course, I went to Bryson City for my aunt’s funeral. I mentioned her passing in my last post. It was a very upbeat and spiritual ceremony because her final destination in Heaven is well assured to us all.
Then Thursday I headed from Bryson City to Cincinnati because I have Bengals season tickets and there was a Thursday night game. I went with my brother Tim and we had a blast! And of course we got the win, which made it even better.
It is about 7 hour trip from Bryson City to Cincinnati but it took me about 9 because I stop a lot. I got there about 4 pm Thursday. We left for the game at 5 pm, and got home from the game about 1:30 in the morning on Friday. Then I hit the road again about 10 a.m. Friday to drive from Cincinnati to Johnson City, Tennessee, which is about a 6 hour drive but took me 9 because of all the stops. That’s a lot of driving!
Upon getting back to Johnson City, I was greeted by a double rainbow! One is very faint, but you should be able to see it.
So that was my week! How was yours?

Your Bengals had a great game! But how on earth can you drive so many hours? My limit these days is 3…lol
It was good, and the crowd was fired up! Since I had to do so much driving that past week, I took my time and stopped A LOT! I thought I might get tired during the game, but I didn’t.
Wow! Double rainbow, that’s awesome. “Bonnie on the road” week. 😊 Mine was more “book promotion” week and it went very well. 📚
That’s great! Publication day is coming!
Sure is. ☺️ Thanks Bonnie!
I also had a “book promotion” week.
That’s true! 😊 May readers take notice. Wishing you great success.
Thank you, Louise! I wish you great succes with your book as well!!
Thank you so much!! 😊
You’re welcome, Louise!
So cool that you saw a double rainbow! Ravens fan here, but I’m glad you enjoyed the game and got the win. Have a great week! 🙂
Thanks Meezan. Yep we definitely have competing interests as football fans. 🙂 I hope you have a great week as well.
You have been on the road a lot!! I am glad that your team won, especially while you were there, how cool! And I love that you saw a double rainbow. 🙂
Thanks! I had a great time. The rainbow was waiting to greet me when I pulled into town.
Great road trip, and wonderful send-off for your aunt. Thanks for sharing and have a great week.
Thanks Laurel-Rain. I hope you have a great week as well!
Ooof that is a LOT of driving – glad it was all worth it
Sounds like you spent half your week in the car!! 🙂 Hope you have a good upcoming week and enjoy a good book!

Yep. That’s why I was stopping so much! Enjoy your reading!
How wonderful that you were able to spend time with your brother doing something you both enjoy!
Yes we had a great time!
Sounds like you had a good trip. Love the double rainbow pic.
Hope you have a great week!
Thanks Yvonne. Hope you have a great week as well!
That is a lot of driving. It’s great the Bengals won. I shudder seeing the pic and all those people without masks. Crowds are not for me. Good work reading your books you have.

Turned out ok. I was a little hoarse from screaming for four hours, but otherwise I was fine.
I love the rainbow. So very sorry for your loss.
Thanks so much. Have a great week!
That is a lot of driving Bonnie and some very long days. I really enjoyed Holiday Romance and hope that you did too. Have a wonderful week ahead.
Thanks Jodie. I love it when the Christmas books start coming out!
Beautiful rainbow!
Thank you! Have a great week!
I am sorry to hear about your aunt. I am sure it was a lovely ceremony.
And I am glad to hear you had a good time watching the game.
Thanks so much Irena!
That is a lot of driving! But sounds like a great time. Yay for the Bengals win! And love the rainbow pic. 🙂
Thanks Greg! Yes I am tired.
Oh I like your new blog theme. The colours are very nice!
Cool game and trip! Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Thanks Sara! I try to change it seasonally.
That was a fun game! We like those end zone seats too when we go to live games. The double rainbow is so pretty! I’m glad you had a great week, Bonnie.
Yes I am happy with the seats I chose, except I got to sit next to the drunk guy. I hope he doesn’t have season tickets too! Maybe he won’t be there next time.
That is a lot of driving. I’d be more than exhausted. It sounds like a good trip though. Hope you have a great week!
Yes I was able to sleep in today and yesterday. It was a great trip.
How fun to go to the Bengals game… made even better by their win. 🙂 That was a whole lot of driving, though. I hope you have a great week!
That is a lot of mileage, Bonnie. It’s nice that the Bengals won, and you had a good time. Great picture of the double rainbow! They’re a wonderment. 🙂
I have a lot of driving practice since I was a military spouse for 20 years.
What branch was your husband in, and when?
Air Force 1982 to 2002.
That definitely WAS a lot of driving! The double rainbow looks amazing, what a beautiful sight to return home to. And a win for your team must have made that long journey so worth while doing.
Hoo boy! That’s a lot of driving, but it looks like you had a good time. So nice to hear the funeral for your aunt was upbeat and you got to see family.
I’m glad your aunt’s funeral was upbeat. And, wow, that is a lot of driving! You must be exhausted. I wouldn’t want to see the inside of a car again for the foreseeable future if it were me, lol.

I am sorry to hear about your aunt. I am glad you had fun at the game! I enjoy going to live sports events and don’t get to do it often enough. That’s a beautiful rainbow! I hope you have a good week and weekend.
