May 24, 2014. Artemas, Pa. Moving On.

The Road Kill Cafe has changed. It is 4:00 in the afternoon and six tables are full of people eating. I don't know if they are eating a late lunch or an early dinner. And there is a crowd around the Alleycat Creamery. This place has become a destination spot for bikers and retired people. The best part is the WiFi. Our system is impossible but theirs is great. I would have never dreamt that The Road Kill Cafe is a hot bed of technology. Today, Ian and Rita headed north. The farm looks a whole lot better now, thanks to the efforts of the both of them. In addition to their hard work, they also kept up our spirits. We laughed together and we cried together. They came to spend these two weeks with us just to be helpful and they were. We will be eternally grateful. Our truck is loaded ready to hit the road. It is full. Some stuff will stay in Mississippi and some will continue on to Texas. Mr. Clark, the auctioneer, will come tomorrow to organize the Hill House. As soon as I teach him how to lock the doors, Ken and I will be moving out. We have enjoyed our time at the farm but it is time to drive south. Our mind will keep focused on all our good times in Pennsylvania and will not allow ourselves to dwell on what we have lost. It is the only way.
