Road trip! Road trip!! Don't you just love a road trip? My best friend, Kathy, and I went on a road trip to the Biltmore House in Asheville, North Carolina. The Biltmore House was decorated for Christmas and we couldn't wait to see it. Kathy had been before, but this was my first trip. I was so excited.
We had absolutely no problems getting to the Biltmore Estates. The Christmas snow was still on the ground and it looked like they had seen over 8 inches. The roads were fairly clear, but the parking lots were slush with ice. We walked very carefully. The Klutz Sisters had arrived!
We got our name the old fashion way--we earned it! Every bruise, stitch, and broken bone had come with a price. We even laugh our pains away, but today we were concerned that the Klutz Sisters were in for a two-fer. You know a two-fer-the price of one deal. We were trying to help each other over the ice and snow by choosing our steps very carefully. Each had a hold of the other. Instead of taking a shuttle like sensible, over-the-hill ladies; we decided to walk and enjoy the snow and view. This is where you are sure that we fell, or slid on our "embarrassments" right? Wrong! We made it! Very confident in our accomplishments, the Klutz Sisters had arrived at the Biltmore House unscathed.
I will admit to stepping on my coat a few times as we climbed the steps from one floor to the other in the Biltmore House. Kathy reminded me that she couldn't believe she had depended on me, the Klutz Sister with the most stitches and the recently mended broken wrist, to help her over the snow and icy slush.
We may be the Klutz Sisters, who trip over their own feet, but we made this delightful and memorable road trip without a stitch.
It is me again Lord thanking you for a best friend who shares laughter and tears and who makes life a little easier when the road gets bumpy.
A little bit of Georgia Wisdom: Enjoy your friends, and if you don't have a "best" friend, make one.
