We arrived yesterday evening in my hometown of Tupelo, Mississippi. It is always so nice to come home. There is a familiarity that comes along with hometowns that you can't get anywhere else... being in the house where you lived before you left home, passing the church you grew up in, going to your parents business, seeing all the sights of home.
Over the next few days, Brian and I will try to cram in as much Tupelo family time as possible before our journey continues. Mom is having a big Thanksgiving meal and family will be coming in to visit. I can already taste the Turkey and Dressin' (that is stuffing for you northerners). I also spoke to my granny on the phone earlier who assured me that she is bringing a cheesecake just for me. Yummy!
So now for a quick moment in my head...
I am such a lucky girl. Things have been going so well so far with our travels to Seattle. I worried about my ancient Honda which has been more than fine. I worried about that cats which are completely content. I worried about the miles and the weariness and the boredom that comes along with driving 3600 miles across country which has been fun, exciting and an unexpected delight. All in all, being a homeless, traveling nomad with Brian by my side has been great fun. We are both really enjoying the trip and taking time along the way to experience the sights and sounds of each new place.
Stay tuned as our adventure continues.
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone. ((HUGS))
