What Happened, Poppy?


We have returned home after a wonderful trip away. The first three days of the trip were work for Ralph, but fun and relaxation for me. Jacksonville is the home office for CSX, so we travel there three to four days each month for sales meetings. Since this was the second meeting in a two week period, we decided to tack a "fun trip" onto it. After enjoying a great evening with friends in Jax.(Janet and Eddie Wilkinson), we traveled to Hilton Head Island. I was able to find a good rate on Priceline.com for the Crowne Plaza there. We had spent a week there for R&R after Beth's wedding 14 years ago, so it was great to finally return. As we were eating brunch and enjoying a beautiful waterfront view on Sunday, we received a cell call from our youngest grandbaby, Pressley. She was leaving church and just could not understand why her Mommy was telling her that Poppy and GranNan were not at church, too. We are always there, and almost always go to lunch with her on Sunday after church. When Ralph answered, she immediately said, in her cute little 2-year old voice, "What happened, Poppy? It was just too cute! After assuring her that we were just out of town and would be home later that day, she gave the phone back to her Mommy. Oh, the blessings of grandchildren!
