Its not really that cold here yet, but by January and February it may be doing the gray cloudy and wet thing. Charlottesville wont be that much warmer, but it will perhaps be a bit sunnier and ...it will be somewhere different.

In Planning mode again....
Its almost xmas, and as soon as its over I think its time to get out on the road for a while. I'm thinking the Charleston area. We have Brent down there...and if we get lucky maybe a few contacts from him. I am going to get the map out and look at what's around there!

Day One "The Great Florida Adventure "
April 9th
Heading out to Clayton GA, first stop.
Got on on the road. By 6 am. Swung by the Wa Wa for the required cup of coffee.
Nice and clear no rain just slightly cool. Headed for Emporia. Sun was coming up behind us, lighting up things in front of us. This is the time for picture taking. Passed the little building/house I like its getting worse and will probably just rot away. Saw some old signs " Nellie's". And some buildings it would be fun to get pictures of.
Maybe i will just make a day trip get here around sunrise, and drive around taking pics. We are going to make it to GA tonight, hopefully in time to visit with Bob and June .June has a Dr. appointment on Friday and will be getting her eyes dilated, so we will only have tonight and Friday. So we wont be stopping a lot on the way down.
Had biscuits at Bojangles, that saved us some time....and $$. I watched for the place outside Emporia, but it seemed to have turned into a Pizza place..... Too bad David might have enjoyed the fried fish breakfast. i need to talk David into the joy of wandering...... somehow it's easier to wander off the beaten path when its just me. I hate to drag him off on roads that go nowhere.
Back in the car listening to Roadhouse on Sirius....we had fun last year with the old songs...words and lyrics from another era.... its been a good year for the roses, 1814
The Lanes called to see if we wanted to meet them for BBQ in Franklin, but since we had just had lunch we decided to go to their house and then go out latter.
We got to Bob and Junes and visited for a while.We met there two dogs Rosie (who is battling cancer) and Oreo. They looked at our books and we talked about all our travels. Bob talked
about his years in military and his sailing adventures. Seams he was stranded
and had to have gas "high" lined to his sailboat.
June is from Panama and they have been married for around 20 years. Their house is tucked back in the side of a mountain or maybe its just a big hill. There is a great little creek running beside us and its quiet and is going to be cool. They live in the downstairs because the upstairs has all her mothers and his mothers stuff up there. Reminds me why I am purging....I don't need all the yarn and stuff...do I?
We went out for some good Mexican food at "La Pachanga" It was good and I had my favorite Dos Eques.....We treated them since we have invaded them! Lots of talk about school days and travel. Then we headed home and since we had been up since 5 AM we called it a night and went to the Tardis walked the girls and called it a night.

 We decided to split a brisket plate, plenty of time to eat salad once we get to FL. |
