Marching through Georgia

Last night, Kate and Cindy got to experience a bit of what I go through when I am travelling all over central Georgia trying to close loans. We started off from Griffin, heading for Musella and a box of peaches. Afterward, we navigated the country roads between Musella and Roberta and Lizella (sounds like sisters) and made it to closing #1. The people were very nice and allowed Cindy and Kate to come inside in the cool while I went over the closing package.

Afterward, we drove over to Lake Tobosofkee and ate seafood at a restaurant called the Fish and Pig while a thunder storm hit the area and dumped rain and electrical charges all around us. It was quite a show. After supper, we drove up 475 to 75 to Locust Grove and drove through southern Henry County trying to find my next closing. After driving around for about an hour, we finally found the house, which turned out to be just a matter of miles from downtown McDonough, which would have been a simpler route if the mapquest people knew how to get around.

After that closing, I contacted a seller from a previous closing and agreed to meet at a McDonalds on Mt. Zion Road in Jonesboro. When we got there, Cindy decided that we needed to go to Publix and get Kate some lotion, then change the destination from McDonalds to Steak and Shake. So we entered Steak and Shake and ordered milk shakes. Ultimately, the seller arrived and we swapped a check for executed documents. Afterward we tried to finish our milk shakes and ended up leaving the restaurant with bloated bellies. Or at least, I did. At this point, we drove home and got there at around 11:00 o'clock p.m.

Considering I left Dunwoody at 7:00 in the morning for court in Lawrenceville, and then drove home and did all that travelling afterward, I could have used a morning off from festivities, but I need to leave pretty soon for court and Cindy is getting the house ready for company. Perhaps tomorrow morning will be a day of rest.
