I am in Greenville...heading to Laurens....and my kin

My emotions are at the surface and I am on the verge of tears.  The last time I made this journey, my sister and I drove with my niece and nephew. That time it was a working journey more or less.  This time it is to see my great aunt Lucy Hunter  and learn more about other kin I did not know I had. I will visit the old homestead, the grave sites, Flat Ruff Baptist Church and listen as I hear stories I have not heard before. When black women get together.....well lets just say it is a good time had by most if not all.

I am embracing this journey.......going to get the rental car.

On the way to embrace my roots....

Now that I snored all the way from BWI to Hotlanta....I was do excited about this journey I never went to sleep...I am now starving. I am eating at Pei Wei....here is my brunch

8 Now to eat before I miss my flight. I am so amped......I hope the kinfolk are ready!
