It has been seventeen days since we returned to the road. The travel has gone well with no incidents, but I do have to say it has been challenging. This has been the wettest trip we have ever taken. I don''t think we had a single day of travel without some rain. It slows us down and caution is the watch word and that makes the driving more fatiguing. Fortunately the rain did stop whenever we were spending time with people along the way.
Our first stop was between Greenville and Spartanburg South Carolina. We have known Sherry and Terry for almost thirteen years and whenever we are near enough to stop in we will. They bought a home there and are what they call "homesteading". All I can think of is the theme to Green Acres with Terry is on the lawn tractor and Sherry is getting eggs from the chicken coop. The place is awesome and they are happy. That is all we want for our friends.
The next stop was Brunswick County North Carolina. This is the first time we have seen our friends Chris and Chuck since they left Florida to be closer to family. It was a brief visit but everyone looked great and we had a good time catching up. Our friends Terry and Bob from the Charlotte area built their retirement dream home down near the beaches and we also got to see them. Our timing was off so it was again a short but sweet visit. Maybe next time we will have more time.
We will be traveling through Virginia next to see old friends and new family, but that is a story for another blog. By the way I am catching up on my blogging. We are a ways down the road from Virginia. In fact I am going to call it a night from our home in Lake Milton Ohio because......
Home is where we park it,
