GOOD (LATE) MORNING AND HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL WOMEN THAT HAVE EVER MOTHERED ANYTHING!
I couldn't believe how late it was when I opened my sleeping bag and my eyes! It got so cold in the trailer last night that I had burrowed down deep in my bed---all that (7 inches) of memory foam enveloped me, and kept me warm and cozy until way past when I usually wake up!
Thanks for the start to the day, and I just hope the weather improves for everyone so all can know how nice this east coast really can be.
I will add one beautiful place to see above Cape Cod and above Gloucester, for those who might traveling the east coast....Newburyport, MA is a quaint old town that has been recently renovated to maintain its old world look----a real fisherman's town. Many of my relatives settled there in the old days, and my mother was born there at Anna Jacques Hospital. There is a good road that crosses a small drawbrdge leading to Plum Island, where I spent all my summers working on party fishing boats and lobster boats. The southern part of the island (to the right when you get over the bridge and onto the main drag (very SMALL main drag!) is called the Parker River Wildlife Refuge, and has many miles of nothing but pure beach, many birds, deer, and I'm not sure whatall else out there these days. We used to be able to tent camp there all summer, but today there is no camping, and it closes at night. Worth seeing, however, as you will be going right past there. Salisbury Beach, just over the line in NH, has a nice campground, however...just a stone's throw from Newburyport. I am sure there must be some nice state campsites somwhere in the area, too, but I never had any need for them back in the old days!
It's only 37 degrees outside this morning, so just now when I got back here in the house, I built a nice roaring woodfire in my stove.....sure does feel GOOD!
Today I will go to a cookout with Mandy and her boyfriend at his mother's house about 4 miles from here. I will wear my snow clothes, just in case!
I hope the Ididaroad travelers will find good traveling weather! Keep us in touch with what's going on! Hot coffee is waking me up, at last!
Life is about learning to dance in the rainHappy travels!
