We have been in all the right states to enjoy AUTUMN - from Illinois to Alabama with stops in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia. We have been following the changing of the colors, praying for our Country, and our dualy elected leaders whatever the state we are in. The funniest campaign was the Governor of North Carolina named Forrest who had used an old Burma-Shave system by adding RUN signs before and after his MAIN sign - RUN Forrest RUN!! I had to smile!
We are attempting to make a run west and a bit south to get ahead of the next hurricaine - ETA. The last one ZETA blew through quickly as we were driving back from Kitty Hawk. Our 3 day vacation from HOME here. We were parked in a safe place in Virginia so left our HOME on WHEELS there and got a motel in Cheseapeake and drove the Outer Banks, stopping to climb the Kill Devit Hill where the Wright Brothers flew their airplane!! Also drove to see a lighthouse before stopping at a waterside (might have been a part of the inter-coastal waterway) restaurant, where we got to watch the birds diving for their lunch while we ate ours!
We don't like to drive with the trailer when the WIND is blowing hard and the day we drove back those flags were straight out!! Glad we didn't have the trailer; we would have STOPPED somewhere if we did!! But timing is everything; and an ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE beats even that!! We are so grateful for this opportunity to travel until GOD says, "STOP and plant yourself HERE." We had a delightful visit with my first cousin and her husband in the Atlanta area, and lunch one Sunday with a nephew and his family!!
The HUMIDITY is great for the skin and the sinuses, but hard for Tom to handle, so heading west seems a good thing. Stay safe, stand tall, and PRAISE THE LORD!!
