Travel
I decided to brave Scranton/Wilkes Barre and come across Pennsylvania rather than going through upstate NY. I would have loved the New York route, but after a lot of searching I couldn't find suitable lodging that would accept Lady. (That is, suitable to me, by the way). I'm sort of glad to be where I am, because I would have traveled just under 500 miles today going the other way, whereas it's been about 370 miles. It's a good thing too, because the in last 50 or so miles I really became tired, and my eyesight got a bit blurry off and on.
My son and grandsons washed my car and packed it up yesterday afternoon. Everything fit that I wanted to bring, although I did leave a couple of items there until next time. I'll probably come back in early spring 2012, and I'm going to really pack light. Only having tentative plans and not really knowing what would work I brought way too much stuff. I can't believe, after all the traveling I've done in my life and how I've learned to travel light, that I still make the mistake now and then.
My niece, Katy, came by to visit for a couple of hours yesterday. She lives in NYC but is spending the week house-dog-cat sitting nearby, so was able to drop in. She and my granddaughter are a joy to be with, and I find I get so energized when they are around. All in all, it has been a wonderful time for me since I arrived in a semi-catatonic state at the end of May. My health has improved, and I just loved being with Mike and his family.
Now on to whatever is next.
- Planning *update* Photo Added
I just about finished my route planning to New York, and I am surprised that I'm so unexcited about it. That's the travel part that I'm dreading but I'm certainly excited to think of being there for several weeks. Maybe it's...
- No Place Like Home
Be it ever so humble there's no place like home! I arrived at my day's destination in Carson City, NV at 1:00 pm and didn't want a repeat of yesterday when I had way too much time to kill because of early arrival. Also I'm tired...

Butte Lake: Aug 28, 2012 I took this picture about 10 miles from the Butte Lake Road. There is still smoke rising from several locations. I have really done it this time. Arrived in good time and brought my stuff inside after many trips back and forth...
- Membership Cancelled
When I took out a membership to BJ's Wholesale Club a couple of weeks ago I was told that if I was unhappy with it for any reason I could cancel. So this morning I cancelled. There were several less-than-satisfactory shopping experiences there, but...
- Making A Start
It lurks constantly at the back of my mind that I need to be packed up and moved out of this apartment by the end of April. I have no idea where I will move to, whether I will need to find a storage for my small amount of furniture and belongings, or...
