March 21st, Wednesday – Checking the List and Checking it Twice

Checking the list, that basically is the order of the day before we move out next week.  A question, if you will, is this March in Florida or Fall in the North East?  Beginning in the

morning and throughout the day we kept asking ourselves that question.  The temperature never got above 65 and the wind was gusting 20 plus mph all day.  It definitely had the feel of a fall like day.

Today, as we slowly began to come alive to the new day, we decided it was time to take inventory of household goods and resupply where necessary.  We know where the stores are in this area so we both believe it will be better to buy what we need now.  Therefore with list in hand, we made our weekly pilgrimage to the Aldi in Brooksville.

Before we left, though, we said our goodbyes to our neighbors and friends Ray and Leslie. They are headed up into the Florida panhandle and then to Alabama as they work

their way toward family in California.  Day by day the park is continuing to empty out.  It will be our turn next week.  Man oh man, I’m definitely itching to go, to get the show on the road.

Tomorrow with any luck the waste valves will be replaced.  I think that being 11 years old, now instead of when they break is the right time to replace them.  I would hate to be at a dump station holding just the handle of one of the valves in my hand!  Then Friday after the new tires are on we’re going to have Graybeard weighed on all four corners.  This is the only way to determine the proper tire pressure for each of the new tires.

Back home after running around we just sat back and relaxed.  We worked on updating records, doing chores and Barbara worked on fixing supper.  All in all a quiet day but one in which we were able to again check a few more things off the do to list before we are on the road rolling toward Maine.

So here we sit, daylight is long gone and the darkness of night is all around us.  Not a bad day by any means.  We take them together as they come and together we make the most of them.  We hope you enjoyed your day as well.  I offer you this as we come to day’s end

As always,  if you are coming to the end of your day with concerns and worries let me suggest that you turn them over to God.  After all, He is going to be up all night so why not let him handle them for you.

Time now for our evening prayers and some shut-eye.  Till tomorrow.  Thanks again for sharing our day with us.

These are the voyages of  Graybeard and it’s occupants, four paws and two humans.  Our continuing mission: to explore as many new states as possible, to seek out new acquaintances and make new friends, to boldly go where we have not been before
