Hi kat, John and Peter! > glad to see you made it in all right & hope you had a good time! >> Hope you had a good trip and are much refreshed
Thank you for the welcome back! Yes, 3700 miles in 26 days … visited Charlotte, Miami, Orlando, St. Augustine (via trolley), Savannah (via trolley), Cape Hatteras, Chapel Hill hosta supplier (no one was there so I toured by myself), Arlington cemetary (first time to see my parents’ grave sites). We stayed in KOA, Jellystone Park and regular campgrounds as well as a State Park in Reston, VA. Our only problem was in Chapel Hill where the local park campground closed 15 minutes before we arrived; Marilyn stayed in a motel and I dry camped in its parking lot. Between parking lot camping and the hosta guy not being there, I was so rattled that I forgot to call TD until I was at Arlington. Sorry, TD, I wasn’t ready to backtrack to visit you. Marilyn wants to return to FL next year, so I may be able to meet you then. Changed the oil in the truck after visiting the Outer Banks as it was due and the shifting sands still exist there, despite the developement in the last 40 years. Never unhitched the trailer which made life interesting at the Quick Stop oil change place in Reston. Only hit one obstacle: making a U turn in a Ford dealership (I was going North, needing to go South), I rubbed the trailer on the back of a $43,700 Ford truck and left a white mark on its back bumper. I turned myself in to management which rubbed off the white mark and moved the truck forward so I could get out of the dealership. And, yes, before I left I checked out the MRSP of the truck. For those of you who do not know John De very well from this ng, I want to say that he and his wife are two of the nicest folks I’ve ever met. While we only had a short day together, John De treated me like royalty; if he ever leaves his wife, I hope he comes for a visit to Ohio. And, John De, I am still working off the carton of Marlboros you found for me. We got back last night, and when I went to my favorite grocery store today, they only had 8 packs of Kents; I’ll need to search tomorrow at my other 2 reliable suppliers. I have to thank my Al-Anon sister, Marilyn, for getting me out of my house. The day before we left, she came to pack her part of the trailer and I was a mess; she wasn’t sure that I could or would make the trip. But, thanks to her patience and understanding, I did get moving finally and we left on the appointed day. For those of you wondering: I had IBS the day I left and last night as soon as I got home. :/ Sometimes, PTSD symptoms can be a real mess! Smile and there will be something to smile about! Nancy

Thank you, but what I really did was to back myself into a corner … I guess that is the way to make progress when all else fails. Lord knows that I have painted myself into enough ‘bad’ corners in the past, before therapy especially! :/ > home sweet home, eh? *smiling*
Yes, I am glad that I am home … the bathroom floor is finally completed. I am not too happy with the results, but it is finally functional! I still have no way to get into my garage.

i still paint myself into bad spots sometimes, even with therapy. :/ but progress is progress, even if you have to back yourself in a corner to do it. :) > > home sweet home, eh? *smiling* > Yes, I am glad that I am home … the bathroom floor is finally > completed.

when i read the part of your message about your bathroom floor being functional, i got this visual image of me running in to use our toilet and falling through the floor to the basement. (which of course made me laugh) so…with that in mind? i’m really, REALLY glad your floor’s functional now. lol > I still have no way to get into my garage.

nope. *g* we did our leaves last week, there were a lot. & our 4 labs kept running in them and romping, dragging the piles out bigger. it was a great game for them. *rolling my eyes* like having kids. kat

Nancy,congratulations on the successful completion of your extended trip.
