Soon we will begin the final journey! On Thursday, Sept. 11th, at 8 am we will hitch (fire up) the horses (power) to the (motor) coach & head east. We're hoping to make it home to VA in 5 days, but I have to be flexible to the "maybe a day or 2 longer" scenario. One never knows what comes up along the way; however, we have no more planned stops except to RON (remain over night) at the end of some long driving days. We'll post our final blog when we get home so that everyone knows we made it safely. It has truly been a grand journey but as I constantly remind Steve, IT HAS BEEN 4 MONTHS LONG & I REALLY NEED TO BE HOME!!!

A Wink from Emmy for Poppa Steve
After bee-lining our way down the west coast from Washington state to San Diego we joyfully arrived on the doorstep of our grandchildren's home on August 30th. It was a grand reunion with mother, Shannon, & grandchildren, Macy, Emmy, & Cooper, & Steve & me. My how the grandchildren have grown just since I last saw them in April. Steve had not seen the grandchildren since last January & he was amazed most of all. Forturnately, Shannon looked lovely as always & not a bit distressed. Shannon had a great big smile on her face, like "relief is in sight!" We certainly applaud Shannon's stamina & her ability to roll with the punches she has withstood for these past 4 long months. She's been a trooper & we marvel at her ability to handle this energetic family. The good news is that Dad, Mike, should be home in very early November & his darling family will be welcoming him with wide open arms!
We've had a great time while we've been in San Diego. We've had lots of "grandchildren time" & "grandchildren love," all of which is exactly what we came for. We've also been able to release Shannon for some well deserved free time. All of us moms know how valuable & special that is! Likewise, Shannon has treated Steve & me so special & given us free reign with our darling grands.
