My first night on the road

A lot of friends and acquaintances asked me where my first stop would be on this trip, assuming I might tell them Ohio or Tennessee or something. In fact, I spent my first night of the trip in Ambler, Pennsylvania, a mere two and a half hours from the coast of Jersey where I started. I had decided early on that I wanted to visit both of my grandmothers, and this was the first one.



My dad's mother lives in a retirement home now. Aside from a recent spat over the administration blocking MySpace on the communal computers due to "adult mature/content" - I didn't think the administration had a right to block anything, she isn't sure what MySpace is and thinks it shouldn't matter - we get along great. On Saturday night we had an early bird dinner and then drove downtown to the old timey theater to watch "Waitress" starring Keri Russell. It was a wonderful, relaxed night, and a great visit with a wonderful woman.
