Life on the road: Five months, two years


Milestones:
Two years since we moved out of the big house
Five months since we hit the road

Location: Kenney Grove Park, Fillmore, CA. Our last morning here. Heading out this afternoon. Gonna' hit the road again with a long journey ahead of us.

Outside: mid-50s, foggy, almost drizzling earlier; sunny now

Hubby is: finishing one last job in the park and then we hitch up

Recent happenings: I've been celebrating the month of May with lots of fun stuff. On purpose. Because I knew I might struggle with being away from Michigan in May. It has been good. Fun times.

Surprises: This place has held some surprises for me - mostly fun ones. Interesting ones.

Made me happy: Facetime with grands last night. Hearing little guy say "I wuv oo, Gumba."

Makes me sad: Not being around to help while he has surgery and after

Noticed: It is lots easier to pack for a big trip when you don't have to move from one "home" to another. When most of your stuff is already stowed away where it belongs.

Blessings: This rig and this place

Accomplishments: Cleaned out the shed, sorted through our books and packed them away for travel, all kinds of other sorting and stowing

Working on: securing things for travel

Considering: which new notebook to christen as my official writing notebook for this journey

Lessons: Life is simpler with fewer things. Less stuff. Yep, yep.

Looking forward to: watching the sun set over the ocean tonight and falling asleep to the sound of the waves
