Almost....

It's Christmas eve and the anticipation level is very high. I plan to hit the road around noon tomorrow to begin, or really continue, this journey. It began with the idea, now the action!
Church was warm and comforting tonight. The music was very peaceful and sweet. The candles gave us a light to carry through the year. And it was good to see Alan and his family as well as other friends.
Tomorrow I'll drive to Santee, SC and spend the night, then on to Port Canaveral the next day. Hope to be set up before dark and be in shorts and sandals down by the beach shortly thereafter.
This is the most happiness I've felt in a long time and I like it! More to come, I hope...

Anticipation

Last Saturday I sent an e-mail to friends & family telling of my pending departure on December 26. My family cruise leaves for the Bahamas on Dec. 27 returning on the 31st. It will be me, my kids, their spouses and all the grandkids. Wow! I get to be with them for 4 days! It'll be great fun and very interesting, to say the least. All the preparations are going well: the Chevy's in good shape, the scooter is craving warm weather and my home on wheels is ready to roll.

The holidays have brought some sadness as I still miss LaVerne. I keep reminding my self that she's not suffering any more. It helps, yet I still miss her.

Back to the preparations.
