Morning Note

I feel so very blessed to be taking this little trip. Mr. Moon and I travel well together and being together every minute of the day turns out to be a delight instead of a problem.
We laugh so much when we travel. God knows that Helen, Georgia gave us plenty to laugh about.
And sometimes you just HAVE to laugh.

Anyway, we're about to head on out again. I love our time in the car. I've been reading The Yearling out loud and the writing is so fine, the sense of place so strong, the characters so beautifully fleshed out that I feel we are living with the Baxters and the Forresters as we travel down the highways, as we ride along the back roads and through the small towns.
And they are good traveling companions too, those people of the Florida scrub and the critters who live with them and around them.

One more night out and then we'll be home. Where my people live, where my critters roam.

I feel blessed.
