I've been back in Florida for 2 weeks today. Had some medical stuff that was put off from last year due to covid. Those are all done now. Whew! Glad for that.
So, today I'm packing up MinnieMee for another trip. This one is back to Indiana. . . where I just returned from. There was a death in Terry's family. His 61 year old cousin died last week. Very suddenly. . . one of his kids found him. So sad. He had had some health problems, particularly his heart and was under a doctor's care, but it appears the doctor was "barking up the wrong tree." This family was Terry's uncle's (dad's brother) and since they were the only relatives of his dad's who had relocated to Indiana (from Mississippi), Terry grew very close to them and we had always spent time with them when we could.
The services are the 30th, so I have a week to get there. I drove down here from Indiana in 5 days, but took my time and visited friends along the way. I hope to get there in maybe 3 days. Still not too much further than my normal 300 miles a day, but I don't think it will be a problem. Will camp in my sister's woods again and have another chance to visit with my Mom. My daughter is coming as well. She will be driving from Virginia, so we won't be traveling together.
I had good weather coming back from my last trip, although the forecast included storms. Missed them all, so hoping for the same this time.
