A delightful breakfast this am with my aunt and uncle. The have a beautiful place with their own waterway out the back door. We felt so welcome last night and today. They were funny and supportive of our journey and sent us on our way with hugs. It’s a bright sunny day on this our first day of house freedom. The views from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel were spectacular as we marveled at the engineering that it takes to build these structures. What amazing brains we human possess. On my first trip to San Francisco with my grown kids we went to a restaurant on Fisherman’s Wharf where two young kids were sitting at a table with their parents. The youngest was about 2. His mother kept making suggests for what he might like to eat. He responded each time with “I like cwab”. It’s become a family joke and we laughed again on our journey as we stopped on over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge tunnel for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed our cwab cakes.

Connecticut sent us off with bang dropping 4” of snow overnight and giving us one last glance at the pristine white covered landscape. Our home was our haven for 34 years. It was our first and only and we’ve spent the last 6 months getting her ready for sale and purging our belongings in anticipation of today – our launch in to a New Adventure. Our first stop on this Adventure was in Rehoboth Beach, DE to visit my Aunt and Uncle. Bono had a blast as he was given a plethora of treats to help him settle in this new environment. Lots of laughter and Ernest conversations led us to a night in a real bed – after two on the floor in front of the fire. As we traveled familiar routes south through Connecticut, New York and New Jersey I couldn’t help but relive memories. You learn these roads like the back of you hand and drive them so often that you lose the wonder of the world around you. How fun to take in sights. The new Tappan Zee Bridge is quite spectacular! We have sold our house. But, as our granddaughter so rightly put it, “Grammy you aren’t homeless, you are houseless. You have the van – a bed, food, water and Bono – and that’s your home.” Amazing how kids can help you see the world through different lenses!
