Enough is Enough

     Enough is Enough!  That is my expression for today.  Coughing, blowing snot, headache, tired......I've had enough!
     But then I look around me at friends who are suffering from much greater health issues than myself.  I have several friends who are dealing with chemo treatments.  I have one friend who has to travel for dialysis three days a week.  I have a friend who is suffering after having the end of three of her fingers chopped off.  I have a friend who is recovering from a stroke.  The list goes on, and on, and on.
     Being sick cramps my style.  I love to GO.  Anywhere.  Everywhere.  Road Trip! That's me.
     I met a lovely lady recently who has the privilege of working for a magazine and going to different locations.... bed and breakfast....  parks...  etc.,  staying a few days enjoying her surroundings and eating at wonderful restaurants.  She then returns home, writes and has published a wonderful story of her road trip (including pictures), and gets paid for it!  How wonderful is that?!  I have decided that this would be my ideal job.  Traveling, or road trippin', and getting paid for it.
     I have traveled to many locations in my 58 years.  Yeah, I know....I don't look it.... thanks....lol
     Most recently, my friend Suzanne and I were able to indulge for a night away at the Gold Strike Casino in Tunica.  We celebrated her birthday with tickets to see Vince Gill.  You remember him, don't you?  Played for a while with Pure Prairie League?  Well, he is still kicking it, and still knows how to play the heck out of a guitar....  numerous guitars.  I think he changed guitars like six times during his show.  True that he has put on a little weight.  Who hasn't?  But he was still the same good ole boy that I remembered.
     We also enjoyed a delicious meal at the Buffet at the casino...  prime rib that melted in your mouth....fried frog legs that could have been better....broiled red snapper....and all the veggies and such that you might want.  Oh yeah, they even have a wine bar in the buffet.  I took my glass to go after the meal.  sweet!
     I hope there will be many, many more travel opportunities in my future.
     Anybody up for a road trip?
