These Boots are Made for Walking

Saturday night and we are staying overnight near the top of North Carolina. Here is what we've been up to since leaving camp. We spent Tuesday with Carol, Sharon and Jon as described in the previous post. Wednesday was a real shock to my system as I had a mani/pedi and got ready to reenter the real world. My toes are now light purple and my nails are a pretty pink. Carol and I did a little shopping and then had fun cooking together in the afternoon. Jeff came down for dinner along with Jon and Megan. We had a lovely holiday meal and then I stayed overnight. Sirius was invited for dinner and he was very well behaved. Poor Pepper, Carol's cat, came down to say hi and when she saw a dog she made a hasty retreat. When I was ready for bed we searched for Pepper and finally found her under my bed. After shooing her out I had a good night's sleep.

Thursday was Rosh HaShanah and Carol and I went to services at Temple Emunah where Carol has worshipped for over 30 years. Services were uplifting and we talked with lots of old friends. Later we hung around and Jeff came to get me late afternoon. Carol took us to a great Italian restaurant and then we went back to the campground. Friday morning we rolled out and headed south. We drove over  500 miles and spent the night outside of Washington, DC. We stayed at the same place we had been on the way up. This morning we woke up to hot weather and Sirius and I took a very long walk and saw two deer. We packed up and started driving just across the river to Virginia where we stopped to visit nephew Larry and his wife Laura. They just moved into a beautiful new home and have already unpacked and decorated.

They took us to a new shopping area where we had lunch outside. Sirius is with us and such a good boy. It is very hot for him and we are anxious to get back to the RV and air conditioning. We continue our trip leaving DC and the terrible traffic behind. By 6:00 pm we have passed Richmond and crossing the state line into North Carolina. Parked in our campground we have time to relax and have dinner. Our entertainment tonight is a favorite movie, The American President with Michael Douglas and Annette Bening. This is one of the movies we watch every summer along with RV, Moonstruck and all the Harry Potters.
