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?

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.
