The journey home

-
This has been a great adventure. We love Georgie, had great visits with family, enjoyed the beach and loved watching the girls have fun. In all we spent 26 nights in campgrounds. 

The last day was spent at Jupiter Beach, which is dog-friendly and very nice. 



Jupiter Beach

There is an upscale "campground" close by, which we would consider going to next year. 

Heading home we are supposed to hit rain but no snow.

Elliott is nervous about winterizing and of course isn't totally comfortable driving.

We decided that we would winterize at a campground in Richmond, Virginia.

Yesterday was thankfully uneventful. We stopped at Wal-Mart where Elliott rested and I got groceries. We slept at a Wal-Mart at exit 57 in South Carolina, which was very convenient.


Our campground stop was at KampsAmerica, which was actually in Ashland, Virginia not Richmond. This would have been a great place to chill if we had time. We woke up to snow but since it wasn't freezing we winterized...no problem..and headed to Newberg, NY where we meet Terri and Jeff for a meal, took them on a tour of Georgie, and chatted for awhile.

A friend of ours we learned yesterday passed away. He had been sick but this is never expected. We won't make the funeral but can go visit Saturday night. 

We learned this in a must stop, JR. We always stop here. Jo found the perfume her mom uses for 1/3 of the retail price.

We love the road but are looking forward to the non-moving home we have.

Jo will continue having fun with this blog passing on tidbits of meaningful and not so meaningful things.

THE NEW TITLE UNTIL WE ARE ON THE ROAD AGAIN IS "Memoirs and musings of a most ordinary woman."

After Surgery: What is it like

 3/15/2022 Although I am on pain meds and a little loopy, I wanted to get my surgery day down before I forget. I don't know if this is the protocol of all breast surgeries, but I saw a lot of people!  At 7:45 I was taken into the pre-op area where I was asked my name and birthdate a dozen times. So many times, that when a woman walked in, I just said my name and birthdate. She laughed and said that she knew my name but not my birthdate. "I'm Dr. Baker." Well of course I didn't recognize her. I only met her one time, and she had a net on her head and a mask and plastic covering her face. She had on scrubs so there was no white coat. In any case I was asked by lots of nurses health questions, got an IV put in with at some point saline and an antibiotic and off I went to Nuclear Medicine and saw a machine that looked like it was from outer space. I wondered if this is also the radiation machine but I didn't ask. Mitch, an RN, spent a long time explaining what wou

Cancer: I'm Scared

2/21/2022 I don't know what triggered this feeling. I have been fine. Last night we were with the grandkids, other grandparents, the grandkids' parents and a couple of others. Maybe being in such a happy gathering did it. I am not going to speculate but I came home and cried.  I cried for my daughters and my best friend who lives on the other side of the country. I cried in fear of what I would hear from the BRCA test. I cried for what was.
