The Fog Rolls In and Then We Roll Out.........

Last week all the moving plans

were coming together...

after considering the fact that we would no longer

be close to Petey's...

one evening we headed down Love Lane and then east on South Road..

toward the northern Atlantic shore...

The fog had begun to roll in, when I took out my camera

for a last few pictures...

We have always slowed to a crawl passing this golf course..
a snail dragging through spilled molasses could probably
give us a run for our money...
but, there must be something interesting in the lay of that land...
other than the way a fog will roll across it like a fuzzy blanket...

It was low tide for our last viewing...

low tide, fog and sunset made for an interesting subject

as we pulled over for a few last shots of

Rye, Harbor...

One day the moving company sent in the packers...

and then early the next day

in came the big truck and the movers...

Around 8:30 that night

the truck cranked up,

pulling away from Love Lane...

The next day our new adventure began...

Chloe, Thibodeaux and Miss Bo-Bo

accompanied me in the Gamma van..

to begin with Michael followed...

Being contrary to the talking lady (GPS)

Michael wanted to go his own way

so I asked him to take the lead..

this time no NYC, no GWB, and no Washington D.C...

she must have said

"recalculating!!" every few minutes..

at one point she repeated it so quickly

I feared she might suffer

a cerebral attack...

at least (I could tell) she was mad enough to spit!

We drove somewhere around 1040 miles in

one and a half days...

and in the end we drove into a bright and sunny day...

the sun spread a warmth across my face I

had not felt in several weeks...

Yes, we were back in the south!

Friday, the movers met us at the house and began to unload..

Neighbors would drive by throwing up a hand to wave..

as if to say

"Hey ,Y'all.. Welcome home!"

It feels so good to be back down home, again!

As One Adventure ends...Another Begins!

April of 08

Michael came in and gave me a clue

as to where the next project was going to be
...it was way far north..

to the east

and we would definitely have a

White Christmas

In May we "ran" up over the GWB

Past NYC, through Connecticut,

through Massachusetts

and into

New Hampshire...

Portsmouth needed an

addition to their hospital

little did I know that this shoreline would edge

my next neighborhood..

After hunting a house was found...

and after a "VERY" long
first half of the trip
Chloe and I slept
some on the second half!

We arrived back in Rye
towards the middle of June.
And our adventure began.....
We visited many places..
saw many sights..
learned a few things...
and experienced the "northern"
way of life...
Scroll down and
take a peek back
at several memories
from the times gone by..
while we lived in Rye...
