Our Big Western "Trip of a Lifetime" is slowly winding down.
When I look at the map of our trip route, I'm amazed that we really went all those places! Plus, we're still getting along after being together 24/7 since August 1st!
The good Lord was watching over us and I am thankful for the many things we were blessed with, such as good weather, decent health, and the motor home running well.
We left my brother's home in Texas on Monday morning and traveled about 300 miles to Alexandria, Louisiana. Tuesday, we covered another 300 miles to Biloxi, Mississippi. Wednesday we knocked out yet another 300 miles, crossing the bottom tip of Alabama and ending up in Tallahassee, Florida.
Once we hit the Florida state line, I thought, "Ah, we're home." Then I remembered that that's not right at all.....it's hundreds of miles to get to Ft. Lauderdale.
Thursday we left Tallahassee at an all-time record of 8:00 a.m.!! We drove the 180 miles to Summerfield, which is just south of Ocala and near The Villages.
A couple of our dearest friends, Jan and David Clements, live there and we've stopped to see them before. (Click here: Bye-bye, Tampa....Hello, Jan and David and Our First Trip - Part 2) We're looking forward to seeing them.
P.S.
The cranberries are in the supermarkets. We learned that they only show up once a year, so stock up. Buy those bags and freeze them.
Oh, how I do love cranberries. They now have a cranberry flavor in Crystal Lite!
