August 30, 2013. Roanoke, Virginia. On The Road.

The truck is stuffed to the gills.  We look like the Okies heading for California.  You can't imagine what we have brought with us.   At some point I realized that we might not be driving to the truck any more because it might sell and settle when we are away, so we emptied the wine cellar and now the wine travel with us.   And we are bringing the last of the frozen meat from the freezer part of the fridges to Andrew and Christina.  I raided the linen closets to use at the ranch in the trailers at our 55th so I have laundry baskets stashed in the truck too.   Of course, are new cases are full of clothes to be used on the cruises in 2014 so they take up space too.

In addition, we brought a birthday gift to Andrew and Christina.  It will be a surprise.  I also brought Christmas gifts for the grandchildren from the farm, and for David and Andrew too.  With all the organization at the farm, I was able to plan ahead too.

As usual, the drive down Highway 81 is lovely.  It is a lovely drive down the Valley.  We hope there is less traffic tomorrow.   When all our belongings have gone from the farm, we will no longer make that long drive from Texas to Nova Scotia, so we are cherishing the scenery.  Our plan is to arrive in Jackson on Sunday, God willing.
