Well, we made it back home!!
What a trip!! Mickey got silly and laughed herself to sleep at the hotel. It was really cute to see. You could tell she was wiped out. We all were wiped out, they were days filled with excitement! She drove the car at the Grand Prix in Disney, and she told us that was her FAVORITE thing!! I sat with her in the small car and at one point she let go of the steering wheel and said "Babs, help me I can't do this" I grabbed the wheel for her and held her hands on it and told her we'll do it together, then she was fine and started screaming " look at me!! I'm driving this car!!!" It was too cool!!
She told us she likes Florida, I don't think it was because of the weather, it was strictly because of WALT DISNEY WORLD. She was able to wave and say "good morning" to ANYONE she wanted!! If you all remember Mick is quite the little socialite!! Everyone treated her so kindly. Being liked by everyone was actually very important to her.
I will be posting more pictures so you all can see.

PARTY ON THE LAST NIGHT AT A MOTEL!
Boy oh boy oh boy OH BOY!
Mickey is the one who suggested that we should have a party. We stopped for lunch in Chatannooga, TN at a place called City Cafe. They had the most amazing display of cakes and cheesecakes that, of course, Mickey saw. During lunch she asked me if I had seen them. Her way of asking for a piece. Now, how did she know that those displays had also caught my eye? Did she know that I baked? Did she know that it was my weakness? OF COURSE SHE DID, THE MASTER MANIPULATOR! I tell you this because I want you to realize that we know she's not perfect. She is an incredible woman. End result? I picked up 3 pieces of these lovely cakes at $6.00 each. One was peanut butter blast. One was called a hummingbird cake and the third was a white chocolate raspberry. OMG!!! Well worth every single penny, we each only ate half and are saving the rest for tomorrow. Wow, manipulation has its' payoff, huh?
I learned something this mind-boggling adventure. It was my intention to fulfill a wish Mickey had told me years ago, one I thought would never be possible. The idea was that we 3 sisters would gift her with this trip. Now here is where it really gets sappy! I know now that the gift wasn't ours to give, but hers. I have received much, much more than I gave. Today, as we were driving through Tennessee, it was snowing as we were going through the northern part. All I could thing of was the legions of angels that have kept us safe this entire trip, surrounding the car. As she touched the hearts of so many people, she so touched mine. I have a new respect for her and I love her so much, well you know, grab the kleenex with me. All together now. Thank you, Lord.
With great love,
Cheri

stopped here in Lexington, KY
What a beautiful drive today!! Despite the rain to begin this morning, turning into flurries, then a hard snowfall, it coated the evergreens on top of the mountains, and I thought to myself what a perfect photo for a beautiful puzzle----5000 piece one!!
Mick is so funny!!, she kept putting her dalmation dog stuffed animal ( her love of animals ) she named "big-girl" on my shoulder because big girl had something to say to me. Of course it was " I LOVE YOU BABS "
Actually the car is filled with love, it blows me away. Mick is really special. So sweet.............
I really wish everyone was with us. I can only imagine all the sounds of laughter.

swim, swim, swim!!
Hi everyone,
Well, we did it!!! Mickey got into the pool last night, of course there was some "coaching" but none-the-less she did it!! She thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, especially when we put her dangling legs in front of the jets. "that tickles!!"
She was so concerned about us stopping at the Hotel on the way home, and Cheri was able to not only get us the same Hotel ( from the way down to Florida ) but she got us the same room!! So when Mickey walked in the room she said " I've been here before " it was actually true!! ssshhhh don't tell anyone but I saw the small stream of tears dripping down Cheri's face!! I think by now she should be pretty dehydrated but I'll keep a check on her.
So far this has been such a heart warming, humbling, fantastic experience and I cannot come up with any words to express properly. But if you catch our drift I hope you catch that this is just simply GREAT!!
We'll be leaving Atlanta today, and will touch bases tonight.
