Wrapping it up...

Mark and I made some music today.  Joan and Cindy worked on sewing/quilting projects.  This will be the last time with them this trip.  It took time to pack up all my music gear; a bit of a sad moment, because this has been a treat to be able make music with Mark and leave gear set up... it was easy to come in to their house, and be able to plug in and start playing.  They are our friends, and it has been a treat to spend time with them.  I think Joan and Cindy have established a tighter bond.

All four of us are healthy; good thing because hugs were necessary for this good-bye.

This is the start of the "getting ready to go" process.  Tomorrow, the scoots get strapped down and the cargo trailer loaded.  As usual, when down for a couple months we have "spread out" a bit - it will take time to get things consolidated and arranged.

The world is a different place for this road trip.  We have called ahead to check for RV park accommodations, but not able to make any reservations because we don't know the timing.  We will head out when we're ready... but, not on a schedule.
