The adventures of Maddy McCall - on the road to Crawford

[merh]

As many know, Maddy and MMjr decided to go to Crawford to support Cindy Sheehan and to set up a tent for DUers near Camp Casey. Maddy wanted to leave out early this morning, but MMjr wasn't feeling well and their departure was delayed.

Well, it seems that the weather in Texas was bad, heavy rains and strong winds. That delayed their travels. They passed four bad accidents that caused even further delays.

Maddy just called to say that her car broke down and she had to have it towed to an automotive repair shop. The tow truck driver was a great guy, dropped the car off at the repair shop and helped them get their hotel room. She and MMjr are in for the night, getting ready to eat pizza and rest. Hopefully her car will be able to be repaired and they can be at Camp Casey by tomorrow afternoon.

Maddy asked that I post a thread letting folks know that she and MMjr are doing fine, they have just had several delays.

Here's hoping to better travels tomorrow Maddy! :toast:

:hug: :loveya:

8. Maddy's Odyssey....

What a mess her trip has been so far. And I mean that in the northern sense of mess. As in trainwreck. My beloved in Oklahoma only explained the Southern definition of "you're a mess" to me fairly recently, LMAO.

I hope that Maddy and son eventually make it...and get home safe and sound.

10. Thanks.

Does she need picked up. Is she in Texas? We will be coming through on Tuesday so if she is still stranded we can cram them in the truck with us.

[merh]

12. She is going to try to get on line from the hotel.

You may want to Pmail her - she has to wait until the morning to know what is wrong with her car.

:hi:

[MuseRider]

15. Thanks

I will do that now.

[MuseRider]

19. I just sent her an email

and possibly we can swing over the where she is if she is still stuck and pick her and the son up. I appreciate that you posted the info. I hate to think of her stuck, especially after she did so much to get her car ready. BUMMER!

[merh]

21. She is a trooper - her spirits are good and she is just accepting

the events as part of the adventure. I am sure she will appreciate your email! :hug:

[MuseRider]

22. Yes she is!

She amazes me. Thanks again. :hug:

[GOPisEvil]

16. Tell her the weather was fine in Austin!

She could have been in Crawford by now, if she'd come this way.



Kidding - I'm glad she's ok. I hope the car repair is simple and cheap.

[merh]

18. She said the weather from Shreveport to Tyler was horrendous.

Hopefully tomorrow will be bring better travels!

17. Thanks for the update, merh.

Sometimes it's tough being on the correct side. We sure don't seem to get much kudos, and we get sticks stuck in our spokes.

But hopefully, things will get better once they arrive in Crawford.

20. You rock, merh-- you know that?? :=)

[merh]

23. Why thanks ailsagirl - but I am just the keyboard operator!

Nothing hard from this end - now at the office, I do have a key that sticks and that really pisses me off when I am on a roll! :rofl:

I'm just a messenger - Maddy & MMjr are the adventurers! :grouphug:

:blush: thanks for the kind words :hug:

[ailsagirl]

25. Where would we be without messengers, I ask you??

:)

[merh]

26. LOL - we'd be without messages, so we would be messageless!
