Much thought happening when these quiet roads are traveled. |
Where to go? What to do? Do I have value anymore? |
Good-morning new day! |

Good-morning new day! |
Crocheting a quick little doll blanket The first of many! |
All done... |
Next... Just keep crocheting, just keep crocheting... |
And the projects continue to grow... |
Water Bottle Snuggled into new cosy! |
Time for me to cook some homemade meals... |
Hi there! It's summertime! |
I learned quickly that if I sat too long... my leg would be used for cars and their adventures... |
Crocheted cosy all done... |
Summer is heating up... Water bottles are a must! |
Oh my it's sooooo hot. I'm contemplating cutting my hair in the not too distant future!!!! |
Temperatures dropped by 42 degrees and more as me and Subie drove further west! |
Yes! That's snow!!! |
And a wonderful rain filled day driving! Subie needed a wash down from all the dust and bugs collected! |
Couldn't help but think of all those who suffered so many years before crossing over the pass that is now named after them... |
And I grow closer and closer to my loved ones... |
Arriving just in time for SUMMER FUN! |
My heart is full as my loved ones enjoy their gifts from me and my travels across the USA East coast to West Coast In three days! |
It all began with walking down these stairs... |
Driving out of Virginia... I thanked the trees for the years I had enjoyed them so! |
Over the Potomac Would this be my last time? |
The river was full and flowing fast, just like my heart was! |
I briefly drove through Maryland and on into... |
Pennsylvania! Onto the highways and byways heading west now... |
Despite the fear that crept into my mind the beauty I saw/experienced was breathtaking! |
The sun was warm and I was on an adventure! |
The open road fed my spirit for adventure AND fueled my fear at times. Homelessness was now a reality. |
I stopped for the night at an obliging rest area some 10 hours after heading out. I woke to these cuties... |
Tried to find the comfort in knowing that I would be ok if I just embraced my reality without so much fear! |
The surrounding beauty comforted me until... |
My thoughts flooded in... Homelessness is not acceptable and being homeless now, well, I was alone. |
I began driving with a hungry tummy but well rested. What would my future be like? I worried and wondered. |
I drove until I could not safely do so, anymore. Another rest area welcomed me. |
So many bugs were killed upon Subie's windshield! But the sunset was lovely! |
Rocky Mountain range in the distance. I'd driven for two full days, and slept safely in Subie for two nights. I was very grateful! |
Seriously Wyoming!?! LOL I'm gonna go my own speed (which was slower) But I kept moving forward. |
It's been a very hot road trip! Temps well into mid to high 90's. |
This rest area was wonderful. I knew I was growing closer to my destination! After a quick wash-up soaking my hair and body to cool off, I snapped a few pictures of Subie... |
Subie! in all her glory! |
Subie has been such a comfort to rest in and rely on! |
Ok Subie Lets hit the road again... |
It wouldn't seem so bad, only most of my belongings have been in boxes since before break-up! We moved into townhouse from storage...then break-up happened just a few weeks later, belongings sat. |
Spring came and went twice! |
Crafty distractions filled hours of loneliness once home from job. |
Tangles got... |
untangled and sorted, on the outside... |
Many cold nights spent by fireside, looking within, wondering what I did and didn't do to contribute to this. |
Passions of the ART supplies had to be thinned, sorted, donated and packed. |
A lot of coffee was consumed. Pain reliever was (almost) a daily thing. And LOTS of packing tape. |
Boxes were filled... |
Favorites were displayed until the very end |
Some things had to go. Actually A LOT of things went. Too many to even think of. |
His and her sides were cleared out. |
Empty containers piled up, only to be filled with discarded items for the charity shops |
