July 5th, Thursday – Packing Up and Getting Ready to Move

I believe we set a record today, by early afternoon the temperature was at 91 degrees – in

the shade!  How thankful we are that our basement AC is working like a charm.  Yes, it will need some tender, loving care over the winter in terms of long neglected maintenance but for now – ah, so cool.

Last visit this morning at the holistic chiropractor and I’m now ready to go.  Without Dr. Pam’s commitment to making me well, I can only imagine the pain I would have been in tomorrow driving.  Still have to be careful, wear my brace during the day, stick on the electric chair for 30 to 60 minutes every night.  But all is good for now.

Anticipating that there will be rain tomorrow morning, I got a lot of outside preparation done today.  The windshield is cleaned.  The jacks are up and blocks are stored.  The tire covers are off and stowed.  The patio awning is in and secured.  The patio mat is cleaned and put away.  The decorations are stored in their appropriate locker.  The black and gray tank are empty  and the sewer hose is stored.  Car is ready to be hooked up.  Tire pressure on the car is good.  Tomorrow, I’ll just have to disconnect the electric and the water.  And, of course, we’ll have to stow a few things in the morning.  Bottom line, we can relax and take our time tomorrow morning and sort of work between the rain drops.  Sweet.

And that is about it for today.  We’re leaving with many wonderful memories, lots of sights seen, new discoveries made, and lots of new friends.  I smile when I think of all that God has blessed us with to date.  I’m excited to see what the future holds for us.  One news flash, travel plans have changed a bit – we are going to Niagara Falls.  I’ve been

there once so very long ago I don’t remember much, and Barbara has never been so we’ve added a stop there into our travel plans.   Like they say, you need to be flexible.

So that’s about it for now.  We’re getting ready to sit down to pasta and meatballs for

supper.  Yum!  Then we’ll just kick back and enjoy the evening – maybe a movie, perhaps a book.  Time will tell.  Thanks for joining us today as short and uneventful as it was.  The best part of the day as always was we got to, in a certain sense, travel along, singing our song, side by side.  You just can’t beat that.

Before leaving you for the evening a thought for each of us to ponder:

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 eventually some shut-eye.  Till tomorrow.

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
