    After leaving Alabama on September 18, I traveled across the state to pick up the Natchez Trace Parkway. I wanted to get as far as the Jeff Busby National Park campground, and because I’d puttered about waiting for the roads to clear of traffic and fog and wetness and then decided to have lunch with…

    After I left Tennessee, I made a one night stop with my cousin Shane and his family in Alabama. It was lovely to see them and their girls Abby and Johanna. Johanna made a ‘Welcome Aunt Barb’ sign for her window, but since it was raining cats and dogs when I got there, I didn’t…

    I arrived at Cousin Dick’s on Thursday, September 13. I really haven’t seen Dick and Lugene for probably 25 years. It’s been really fun catching up and learning their lifestyle (not your average joes). I took advantage of their offer of room and board inside their home and gave Harvey a rest. Spent some time…

    My second morning in the Smokies looked like it would have been my best shot at lovely sunrises, clear skies, but alas, there were other things on my agenda: Through every fault of my own, I nearly ripped out the post at the end of Dave’s driveway on Monday with Harvey (after bragging how close…

    Tuesday: After spending two of my first five days of travel in truck stops, I’m looking forward to two nights in this beautiful park. I’m parked beside a rushing mountain stream, although without my hearing aids, it’s a lot quieter, but I can still hear it 🙂 praise God! The moral of this story is…

    I crossed into North Carolina from Virginia on Friday the 7th. I arrived at Uncle Dave’s around 3:00. He has one of the narrowest driveway entrances I’ve ever attempted. I only had to remove the Colts flag from one the entrance posts, and I squeezed by with about an inch to spare-but I didn’t hit…

    Traveling down the road today certainly brought a lot of thoughts to mind – mainly because I ALWAYS listen to books on cd, but alas, I had to return my books and cd’s to the library Tuesday. But it was good to ponder these past few days. Saying goodbye to all my friends and relatives…

    This whole week has been hard work during the day getting Harvey ready and goodbyes in the evening. My mother and father in law, Gennie and Forest gave me a wonderful dinner on Sunday; my school girls (Eleanor- the manicotti was wonderful, Liz, Becky, Vanessa, and Terri); old friends from – yes it’s been 42…

    I have not posted for a very long time, so in order to keep a record of what I’ve done so far to move to the west coast where all 3 of my children live and all five of my grandchildren,I’m posting the beginning of the RV experience in a quick block: Thanksgiving 2010 –…
