The best laid plans….as they say!  Due to several unexpected turn of events, I did NOT depart today on my adventure, but all is well!!!
   I have an appointment at the van dealership…for sure..at 9:30 AM tomorrow to flush my water tank and fill ‘er up, I pick up my new Rx shades and….I’M OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Words cannot possibly describe my current state of mind!  Ecstatic…curious…hopeful…delirious…joyous…GRATEFUL……..are few that pale in comparison to what is stirring within me!  I can’t help but wonder if and when going on this magnificent journey will cease to seem …surreal!  I’m fixin’ to find out…LOL
   Tucumcari, NM….here I come…to marvel at your murals!
