We’ve had a busy week, checking off all the last minute things we needed to have done before getting back on the road. We went to the last of our medical and dental appointments (√), put new brakes on the truck (√), got our fall clothes from storage (√), returned library books (√), washed the truck and trailer (√), did laundry (√), bought groceries (√), and got haircuts (√). Yes, even Ron needs his hair cut! He uses the clippers to get that slick ‘Mr. Clean’ look. ;-)
In the midst of all our mundane chores and appointments, we had the pleasure of meeting Mike and Carrie Paden for lunch on Wednesday! Mike and Ron worked together at the university before Ron retired, and Mike is now a retiree as well. He and Carrie recently returned from a trip to Alaska! We enjoyed getting to spend some time with them and hearing about their trip. We all agree that we’d like to see another trip to Alaska in our future. It has been 6 years since Ron and I spent the summer there in 2005.
We’re back on the road today, but won’t be in Pigeon Forge until next Monday. We have a few stops planned between now and then.
