I’ve dashed into town for a couple of errands and to post since I plan to drive tomorrow as long as I can and I don’t expect to start prior to about 8:00 a.m. It’s been an interesting trip with longer visits than usual with some members of the family as well as friends and lots of time for reflection on the journey. Memories return when I pass certain places and in conversation, a few surprises related to events and relationships have popped up. Not gasping type surprises, more revelation of perspectives that I had not been previously aware of. How much of that is not having known certain things or how people’s perspectives can change over the course of decades is difficult to say at this point. In either case, it has provided the proverbial food for thought that I will digest on my trek south and east.

The weather is a bit of a question since rain here was not due until tomorrow. We definitely had it today and maybe that means the front passed more quickly than they thought and I’ll have clear weather as I drive. I’m hoping for that anyway. I’ll close for now and keep my fingers crossed that the trip back to Florida is as smooth as was the one to Louisiana.
