Gettin' Coffeed Up

Well, it's getting on time to leave here.

It's been a while since I left the nest myself to travel away. I guess it was when we went down to Gator Bone and spent two nights in the state park in that beautiful old cabin.
Not sure where we'll be laying our heads tonight but I'll have my own pillows so it'll be okay. I'm feeling amazingly excited about it, this getting on the road with my sweetie.
I have a book to read out loud to him and I always love that. Makes the miles pass, gives me a chance to feel like I'm doing my part as he drives.

Everyone, without fail, says that Asheville is just the finest place. I know this must be true. I spent a few summers at camp in the North Carolina mountains as a girl and it was beautiful there. I think of North Carolina and the word green comes to mind. Supposed to be down in the fifties at night and up to the high seventies and low eighties in the day.
Perfect.
Sweet.
Mostly I'm excited to see house where Jessie and Vergil are living. See it before they make it entirely their own. We're also going to meet Vergil's mama and of course I'm nervous about that. I hear she's a potter and a musician and a very fine gardener and also a sort of business woman and I'm already a bit intimidated. But she raised Vergil and I know him and I love him so I'll probably love her too.

Oh my.

Well, time to load up. Show Russell how to deal with the chickens and cats and all that stuff. I hope Pearl doesn't die while we're gone. I wish we were getting to spend more time with Russell. We hardly ever get to see him and I love him so much. He's my baby brother and he sat on my hip as much as he did his mama's. I was his little mama.
But it is what it is.
Time to go, time to go.

I'll be posting from the road, I feel sure. You know me.

Love you all SO much....Ms. Moon
