The REAL reason for this blog . . .

Well, the REAL reason I set up this blog was because of the urging of a couple friends who are having a strange sort of withdrawal from the Jennifer updates -- but even more, who want me to chronicle my upcoming trip to Florida in my tidy 1994 Chevy RV.  I will soon put up a picture of my fine (if very faded), mechanical steed.  But not until it's a little warmer outside.  (It's 31 and snowing off and on today in rural KY.)

Today, I am firming up my schedule for this Florida trip, and I just hope I can be away from Jennifer, the animals, and farm for all the while!!  If I cut this trip short, you'll know I was too homesick. . .

Curmudgeon that I now am, I do not like to drive more than 5 hours a day, and one of those hours must be for restrooms, stretching, snacks, and reloading coffee.

This will make my time getting well south less than efficient -- unlike other friends who have gone south in winter before me (you know who you are ....).

But I will endure, loping my way south, with stops in the great states of Tennessee and Georgia before hitting a 2 night stay over (finally) in the north of Florida.

More as I have it; and, of course, I have promised to include pictures.

  1. Curmudgeon = "a crusty, irascible cantankerous old person full of stubborn ideas" does not sound like the Joan I know.
    Crone = the Wise Womyn who knows when to stop, and for all the RIGHT REASONS!!!!!

  2. Ah yes, I would definitely call a woman who crawls out onto sharp rocks in the Middle of Lake Michigan to loose a slippery, struggling seagull with an enormous sharp bill from a mile of tangled fishing line a "curmudgeon." ;-)

  3. Bring on the photo of your mechanical steed! And DO document (in detail) your travels to Florida. I look forward to reading all about it. Homesickness is, of course, always a potential problem. But if you blog about your trip, I promise to comment, and I'm sure other readers will too. It's a great way to connect whilst being away from home.
