Tarheel Canine, Friday, February 6, 2009

And thus began my final day being with my daughter at her dog training school. Again, I stayed in the motel in the morning mainly because I needed to pack and clean up. But I met her at noon for lunch at the bagel place, and then we hit the road to head back to Richmond. After about 45 minutes of driving, (we caravaned again), Valerie called me and told me that she was just too sleepy to drive any farther. So we pulled off at a Sheetz, where she slept for about 30 minutes and I walked the dogs and read my book.

As before, we stopped at The Oasis for our midway stop, and once we reached Interstate 95, we stopped caravaning and she went on home, and I, (sucker that I am for Cracker Barrel), stopped at the Cracker Barrel near Emporia, VA, and read my book, and reflected on what a GREAT week it had been! I felt sad that I wouldn't be seeing Valerie every day anymore, but I felt grateful that I was able to share such an important part of her life.
