Rolling Along

Well, we are on our way sometime in the next hour or so. Good-bys have been said and a few tears have been shed.  Leaving a safe harbor is always a little scary but we are nomads and our feet are really itchy.

 

 

 We just got a copy of the newspaper article.  Holy cow, it made the front page, it must be a slow news day.  It is titled " Rolling Along".  It includes 4 photos.  Can''t believe it.  It is not on line yet, but should be later this morning.   We're outta here.   Love to all.

Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I'll miss you
Until we meet again!

This and That

It seems that I just blinked my eye and the summer is over.  Our visit in New England will end this Friday.  We are meeting up with friends this Friday night at the Mohegan Casino in Conn.  Our plans are to travel with them until we get to Georgia and spend a week or so at Bald Ridge, and then slowly head south for the winter.

 

Leaving our family and friends always difficult.   My forever friend Carol and I always end up bawling and it is so unlike us. Bob knows the routine and tries to more us along rather than have two crying women saying so long.  LOL

 

The news reporter and  the  photographer were on Thursday,   Lord only knows what they will write.  The reporter asked endless questions about us and our lifestyle and Jim, the  photographer, took lots of pictures, even of our cat Maggie, which he promised to email me.

They think it will be in the Wednesday paper, I hope that it is, as we would like to see it before we go.

 

It is a rainy weekend here in Beverly, Birthplace of the American Navy, in case you didn't know that!  A good weekend to get things done around here inside the coach, although we had plan to visit some friends that we wanted to see before we left.  So much for good intentions, I guess.  I tend to keeping pushing things into the cabinets and before I know it, we can hardly close the door.  Yesterday we stocked the freezer with our favorite meat from the Butchery,  ( sorry Shirley, no room for haddock ) and stocked up on can goods and fluff that we can only buy here.  

Guess What ???

Guess What ???

 

    We just got a call from our local newspaper, The Salem News, and they want to do an article on us.  They  are coming here on Thursday with a photographer.  Good Grief!  I'll let you know what happens.  That photographer better be good at making me look 20 pounds thinner.  Have a good day.

 

Sorry not to have been doing many upates as we have been visiting family and friends, many having the urge to feed us,   Yaa Hoo

Support Our Troops

 

 

 

 Lets

 

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS

 

 

If you go to the web site at  www.letssaythanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and the Xerox Corporation will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq.  You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services.  It is FREE and it only takes a second.  Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these?

Happy Third Birthday J-Land

Happy Third Birthday J-Land

 

  I am so happy to be part of this wonderful family.

  Most of us will never meet, but there is a strong bond that ties us all together.  J-Land offers friedship, encourgment, advice, smiles and prayers when needed. I love you all.

 

I hope you are all ready for the  Red Carpet tonight.

I'm dusting off my dancing shoes and will see you all there.

 

Just so that you will recognize me, this is what I will be wearing. 

See you there.  Don't be late! 

Long overdue entry

 

    Friends, family, lobster, clams, beaches, haddock, Dunkin Donuts, the smell of salt water,  these are a few of our favorite things, and we are enjoying them all.  We are home in New England surrounded by wonderful memories, while visiting our favorite haunts.  Class reunion, 50 years, must be some kind of mix-up, can't be mine.  Our calendar has been full and we appreciate all our old friends. 

 

We are again staying in my forever friend's ( Carol ) yard, in-between her house and her son's and his family's house.   We feel so welcome here and fit right in the commune, so to speak.  They have provided us with electricity, water and a pool, just outside our door.  What more could we ask for.  We are family here, how lucky we are.

 

Today is Carol's granddaughter, Carolyn's eighth birthday.  She loves it when we are home for her special day.  She calls Bob, "Bobby"   She is so cute.  Her brother Steven who just turned 13 has flown to Mesa, AZ. twice to visit us on school vacation.  I don't want to brag, but I can as they are not mine, they are wonderful children, smart, curious, loving, and sports minded, all around good kids.

 

Happy Birthday J-Land.  Can't believe we are 3 years old!
