Not Done Yet

This baby business is very hard work! However, we are not done traveling the blue highways yet! As Doug and I were preparing to say our reluctant goodbyes to our family and friends here in North Carolina, I had a brainstorm. Why not just keep on truckin' and head semi-west to Ohio where more family awaits? We had cut that part of our trip when we raced back to the early baby. So today we will begin the slow route northward and visit Virginia, West Virginia and Ohio. Staying a full two weeks here in the town we had called home for over thirty years has been fun in a bittersweet kind of way. I never tire of walking on the UNC campus and people watching on Franklin Street. We have had such a grand time catching up with our friends and everyone has been so generous with their hospitality. Still, I feel like I don't live anywhere anymore. Or maybe I feel like I live everywhere. It is like being a human tumbleweed, or a billiard ball. And some of these folks must be tired of seeing us on their doorsteps! Okay, okay, put down your hands! We're going!
