"Elizabeth did fairly well on the trip."

Thursday, Nov. 21, 1991

     We got to W. Monroe at Randy's house at 3:33 yesterday afternoon. Elizabeth did fairly well on the trip. The only time she got really fussy was Tues. night just before we stopped for the night. She decided she'd had enough & was practically screaming for about the last 10-15 minutes. We wanted to get on past Atlanta though so we kept going and stopped in Bremen. She slept good but it took a long time to get her to sleep. She woke up once with a nightmare but Guy only had to walk her for a little bit. Last night it took her awhile to go to sleep too & Guy finally gave her more juice. I wish she wouldn't get back into that habit but I kind of expected it on the trip. I just don't want her to have problems with her teeth. We're leaving her here with Shirley this aft. to go to a movie!

     I didn't get much more sewing done. I finished her white shirt except for the buttons. I did those at the motel and then discovered that I put all the front ones on backwards. I did the ones on the cuffs right. I didn't feel like redoing them all then so who knows when I'll fix them.

     Our new car did great on the trip - 38.1 MPG on the last tank. I think on trips the Cavalier never got more than 26. There's more room inside but it was still stuffed with all the things we had to bring. I'd wanted to bring her walker & stroller but there wasn't room for them.
