Shenandoah Valley, VA , here I come!

I am not packed, but the laundry is done.  The golf clubs are in the car, the wine is chilling, the necessary, "I can't live without them" items are piled up and waiting to be placed into the suitcase.  I put a Hold on the mail, transported Sheba to my daughter's home, told my neighbors, and told my friends and family.  What is left?  I'm even telling my JLand friends, "I am going on vacation!" 

Since I started dating my boyfriend a year ago, we have been doing a lot of traveling.  We've been to Newport, Rhode Island,; Del Ray, Florida; the Poconos in PA; Chatham County, NY (does that count? this is where his son and his family live), and New Hope, PA for our first B&B experience together.

He likes to drive; I like to navigate (only kidding; he's a stickler for "knowing the directions"; heaven help me!  My mother always says, "Keep your mouth shut and the food coming and you'll do just fine.")

We do well together on the road and that can be metaphoric about how well we do as a couple.  We hardly argue and when we do it is usually me pushing the envelope because of something he did or did not do, or said.  But those confrontations are more like bumps in the road and we ride them with a giggle and hug.  He is the man of my dreams, finally!!   No more nightmares...oops, another metaphor.

Anyway, I'm off and will be away from the computer for a full week!  Enjoy your week everybody and keep us in your prayers.

Until then, Karen
