Night spot.


Just down from Stonehenge II we pulled off the main road at the bridge and tucked off the side of the old road dead end road. Some pretty blue wildflowers were blooming. The sound of the Johnson Creek trickled through the air. We could see the bridge and traffic was thinning. We settled in for the night, watched a Star Wars movie and we were just climbing into bed when a pick up truck without his headlights on rolled in. Then another vehicle passed us and went to the end of the road. We listened and we watched. The second vehicle left after a short time. The man from the pickup rooted around in the truck, smoked a cigarette, then walked up the road leaving his truck. Okay, back to quiet. Will decided to sit up a bit. Two police cars came down. They came a knocking. Seems they had stopped that guy walking. He was a convicted burglar and he had said that he left the truck because the clutch went out. The police were here to check out the truck and spotted us. Will and the officers chatted a bit. They said this was a nice spot and we could stay. Then they gave us a local number to call if anything suspicious happened. After spending a time at the truck they too left.  We had a quiet peaceful night with the trickle of the water and the soft cool breeze. 


This morning we did a little exploring. Pretty spot. 


Today is a good day to drive!

Houston Fest Galax, VA

We arrived in Galax, VA and stopped at our friend, Harold's. He was just putting the finishing touches on a cake he made for his nephew.  Harold is great in the kitchen! Brenda arrived!  We had a nice meet and greet. We went to the school across the street with Brenda and Harold and met Linda who likes hugs. Each day the three of them and others from the community volunteer to prepare backpacks of food items for children who otherwise would good the weekend hungry. They have fund raisers to get money and purchase food items that children can manage for breakfast and lunch.  They also get donations.  There is a man in Florida that heard about their need for food so ships items from Amazon.com for them to distribute. They get everything organized then run an assembly line to package items. The bags are then sent to the classrooms where the teachers put them in the children's backpacks so that no one is called to any attention. Time to head to Houston Fest whose mission is to hon

Pandemic

 This has been a strange year. We arrived in Florida in March and have stayed home since. That is about 6 months now. The Covid-19 virus has set the world to be a different place with stay at home orders, restaurants and bars closed, shelves in the grocery stores empty of toilet paper and antiseptic good, virtual school and doctor visits, hospitals that don’t let visitors enter and no only emergency care, wearing a mask when you are in public and people staying six feet apart. Who knows what the new world will be like after this.

Hospital Stay to Camping Out

Update: morning started early with vitals checked every four hours, bloodwork ( interesting side note: you are given an IV port in the emergency room, but that port is not used to retrieve blood for any of the various tests once you are admitted. Instead someone comes and draws blood through a new prick hole each time. ).    I started taking a new pill, Imdur, that helps keep the arteries open. It gave me a terrible headache so I won’t be taking that again!    Went for a CT angio of the chest. Then I waited       It is now 3:00 and they are going to discharge me!!    Yippie. That was about three weeks ago. Since then life has made a 360. We bought a house!! A touchspot really because we still plan to travel. We bought a new to us PleasureWay!! We are scrubbing and painting the house. It is the best way to get to know your new space. And it makes it your own. I take it slow and sit more than I remember doing in days gone by, but we are just ma
