Hitting the Road (for Real this time)

Looks like we really are leaving tomorrow morning. Though the way things have been going, I won't be holding my breath!!! I did want to take a moment to say thank you to the people who've kept me going up here, while waiting to haul out.

Kathy and Joe, thanks for going to dinner with me at El Gallo, and for loaning me the cot! Would not have made it through these four nights on the hard floor. Getting too old to do that well. :) And thank you for your friendship and the many phone calls. I will miss you much when I return to California.

TJ and Kathy and Dora, thanks for going to dinner with me at the Texas house place with peanut shells on the floor. What a treat. Also, thank you TJ for showing me where all the fluids in my truck were, and doing a full systems check on my truck so I knew I was truly traveling safe. Finally, thanks for the movie treat. I never would have rented Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and I would have been missing a funny, positive movie. I hope you find the picture book so you can see where the movie started. I really enjoyed hanging out with you all! You have a special place in my heart, and I will miss you greatly when I return to California!

Finally, Scott and Jenny and Savannah, thanks for letting me hang out a couple times at your house. Being around your family helped me feel not so alone and wandering during my brief "limbo" up here waiting to leave with my horses. I keep laughing, thinking about everyone drawing the flip-flops. Good dinner, too! I look forward to seeing you again in September, because I will miss you until then!

It ended up being okay, this in-between time of four days. I took care of a lot of loose ends, and in some ways, eased into this transition back to Humboldt a little bit more. I feel fortunate to have met so many wonderful people here, and to be leaving with new friends for a lifetime.

See You Later!!!
