Once again while we plan our dreams, things seem to happen. My last post mentioned the loss of our friend Jim Taylor and needless to say we have become more sensitive to those around us. True to form, Murphys Law has reared up again and now Marge's Dad affectionately referred to as Big Al (behind his back!) has had a setback and has been hospitalized. He is going to be 90 this next year and is as independent as anyone....still driving his neighbors around and running errands for everyone. Truly a generous and kind man. He is in good spirits and will be going to rehab tomorrow to continue improving as he has done this past week.
Our planned start of this adventure was to be this weekend and he wants us to go. With his improving, we are still hoping to start our trip ......We'll see!
On another note the beast, or motorhome ( ah yes, the beautiful beast.... I, we are almost ready) is fueled, no water yet (we decided on waiting to get to a little warmer area before we fill) clothing is almost in and Marge and I are both making lists of things yet to go. I have the last of the antenna connections for the computer and phone in and ready to go. The toad is being checked tomorrow. Thursday is updating of legal things should anything happen and that should about cap things off the todo list. But Murphy is still out there!
