When you get ready to leave

in Miscellaneous on 15/05/24

Something happens when you get ready to leave home for a while. People, places and things feel more important to you, even though your journey takes you to a new place, a new realm, a new way and you are not sure that you want to leave the comfort of what you know.

As I get ready to leave on this journey of mine, I am loving all the outreach of people. A friend from St. Croix called me that has been trying to talk to me for many months last night and yes, I answered the phone happily to hear his voice. Thanking him for continuing to call even though I didn’t always respond…..that is a friend and someone to keep close. Several of those have shown up and I hold them as precious people in my life.

Tonight my “other” mom wanted to go out for dinner. Perfect because that was what Pedro & I did the night before almost every trip we took. A great way to start.

(click on the photo to see Mary Ann & Maggie flying down the sidewalk 😁)

And trust me as you are loading, you make sure your car is full…..mostly of spinning, weaving and other fiberarts, books! and jackets for different seasons.

Before the car was packed, this morning, I decided to “trim” the cactus in my front yard. Just to make it more comfortable for the lawn people while I am away. So, I filled up the back of the car (forgot to take a photo) and took it to the “service center” aka dump before the torrential rain started.

This is what happens when the Peruvian Apple cactus blooms and then it produces a fruit similar to Dragon Fruit!

and now let the journey begin!!! We’re off like a herd of turtles!!
