Later

We are ready to pack up the camper in South Bend and head to Madison WI this morning.  We are 2200+ miles into our journey to St. Paul. 
We have enjoyed 3 more national parks and now have only one left in the continental United States.  We really should have taken in Arcadia in Maine but thought it was not a good idea on this trip.  Will have to do that another time but when??, not sure.
We had a decilious meal at John/Mary's last night and they sang an early "Happy Birthday" to Terry who will become as old as I Wednesday.  I fear I have not done well during her "birthday month" this year but I will blame travel, back issues and "book".  I will make up for it this summer!!!
As we visit family, makes no difference if they are into little kids or teenagers or older, it always brings to mind that in retirement a person tends to forget HOW BUSY familes are!  I am thankful for the slower pace of life Terry and I have during these years but the visits bring back memories of the "hustle" that used to be. 
Terry and I have not talked a lot about projects when we arrive in St. Paul but we must do that soon as there are MANY to do. 
As I write, the house here at John's is quiet but soon it will be alive with kids getting ready for school and John off to work.
As we headed out on our trip from Naples I realized that the FP maker was not in the camper so NO FP for a few days.  I guess I will live.
Enough!
