It was 7:30 when I took this early morning shot from the cook house, just before driving away from this remarkable place, carrying only the great memories of these past weeks, when the island laughed with children, and we three sisters joined together to host all our family members. The weather couldn't have been more perfect, giving us warm, sunny days, rainy days, and cold days, so that we could enjoy them all. It has been a bitter sweet day. Leaving is so sad, but on the other hand, I am "On the Road Again"!! I love the independence and adventure of selecting my routes, planning where I will stay, and seeing America in its most honest form - the lives, homes, churches, history and livelihoods of Americans who don't populate our cities. We live in a great country!
Tonight I am snug and dry in my van, while a thunder, lightening and rain storm pelts Iron River, Wisconsin, where I am camped. Did I mention how I love this van?? I have charted my journey for tomorrow, enjoyed a glass of wine and my "elevator music", as my kids call it, so it is time to sleep for tomorrow's 8 hour trip. Love, Liz
