In the last two days I have added 500+ miles to my car and added several towns to my mental map by driving nearly twenty-four hours with a twelve-hour break in between.

We were able to find a rescue to take my sister's turtle, so we drove up to central Pennsylvania early Saturday morning. Between stopping at the gas station and the grocery store we made it just in time for the appointment, then leisurely drove back home. It was a long day.

This morning we left early to explore central Virginia - literally the exact opposite direction of yesterday's trip. We went to Mass in a beautiful old church with an unruly congregation. I could not help wondering what the parishioners of olden days would have thought of their behaviour. Then we traveled throughout the countryside checking out towns and churches. Some were a disappointment. Others we were pleasantly surprised. So Virginia is still in the running with Pennsylvania.

Last night Eva fainted, collapsed, or simply had a severe neurological disfunction. When I took the dogs out for the night, she went to go potty in her favorite spot, but didn't come back. I thought that was odd, so I grabbed a flashlight and went to look. She was just sitting there with that vacant stare - couldn't respond, move, or support her own weight when I tried to help her stand. I picked her up and she lay limply in my arms, her head resting on my shoulder. My sister thought she was dead. So did I, for a minute. I brought her upstairs and laid her on her pillow. Half an hour later she woke up and wanted her treat, and acted normally from then on. She was fine today.

That's all for tonight, I guess. I hope y'all are doing well .
