Gettin' Ready to Go.....


Well, all our bags AREN'T packed, and we're not quite ready to go ~~ but we're gettin' there. Our estimated date of departure from PA is just after Labor Day.  We'll be heading west in a suh-weet 31 ft motor home (affectionately named Maxine by our granddaughter), towing an even suh-weet-er 1970something VW Euro van adorned with aloha flowers & named Dori by the same adorable girl. Dori because this surfmobile is the same color as Marlin & Nemo's most faithful friend). 

So....around the 4th of Sept., we're all piling in ~ two seniors, two adults, two kiddos, and two golden retrievers ~~ and we are heading from PA to California, sea to shining sea, following a dream God tucked in our hearts about a yr ago.  More than a year ago actually.

Our "Plan A" destination is San Luis Obispo, California.

The journey though is often the destination ~~ and we all, each one of us, is looking forward to this Incredible Journey.  We're  planning a few months to get there ~~ cruisen'  up....down....and around the country, visiting friends, meeting new ones, just enjoying the beauty God has created, and taking the time to take-in-some-deep-deep breaths. (I just took one....ahhh)  We sort of have a plan ~~ but we are holding it loosely ~ and we will see what unfolds. 

And though traveling with 8 will hold challenges for sure ~~~ we know it will be incredible.

If you'd like to follow our journey ~~ the good the bad  the ugly and the hilarious ~~ stay tuned.  We'll share it with you from here.

    Hello Diane and Chester and family, this is Natalie from Adult Enrichment. We miss you all so much already, but we got to meet Chaos today and she is a beautiful German shepard. The participants had a really good time with her and Tom. I think that's his name anyway, I will be checking in from time to time to see how your trip is going. May God bless your journey so that it may be filled with many of memories. Until later, Natalie.

      Dear Natalie,
      Oh, that is music to my ears....and brings wags to Chester's tail :-) , to hear that Tom and Chaos had a really good visit with the students. Chester and I miss everyone already (we've grown to love you all so very much!!) but we know we are leaving you in good hands and good paws.

      Thank you so much for writing, and please tell everyone hello from Chester and me. I would love to stay in touch.

      Warmly,
      Diane
