I just reread my last post. It sounded kind of scared, didn't it... I'm really not at all scared. I love adventure and I love solving problems in my head. I just don't know what the problems will be this time, nor will I...the whole trip. Now that's what I call adventure! Each day will be different. Different weather, different landscape, different people... I suspect I will learn much about being dependent on God and dependent on others, and for someone like me who hates to ask for help - that is enough adventure all by itself. Here's another whatif for you. "What if I get tired of adventure?"
We will need to get the house ready for my son, Jeff, to take care of this summer while we are gone. It will be a good learning experience for him and for us. I started a little notebook for him about how to clean the kitchen sink and how often to feed the cats....full of things that are just Details, Details - until you need them -and then they become Important Information. It IS a little frightening how many details you deal with on a daily basis...and I find details stressful - so trying to get the house ready for our absence is not as much fun as thinking about how to survive on the road for 8 weeks. (My dear children. You will learn a lot about your mother if you read this blog. I think I raised you in survival mode.)
Cal is right...it's easy to wander around when you are writing these blogs. While Cal is busy training for the ride...I am still dreaming and making lists. Details, Details.
