Burning Bushes in Virginia

Today we all got up and prepared to go see our old friend Tootsie White.  We have really missed her and her laughter!!  We stopped at a couple of places and finally found our old street Sugar Mill!!  Could not park at her house because they are redoing the whole outside.  Now it is a real pretty light tan and also having the roof done too,  Going to be really nice when they are finished.  Took a bit to get into her house but we wrangled our way around and made it there. 

She had coffee and doughnuts for us.  We sat at the famous kitchen table where I have sat many many times.  Had a great time just like nothing had happened.  We have just always been here.  But of course we haven't.  We could see our old home but it is not our home anymore. We know that it can never be again.  With Mike retired there is no way we could ever afford to have a home.  We have to remember that we have a basement apt and this motor home and that is going to be it.  I cannot tell you how much I miss having a home.  For those of you that live in a home do not know what it is to miss having windows and a front door,  I miss just being able to go to the front door and shake rugs. .  When you are so used to these simple" taken for granted" things then loose them then e you will understand how I feel.  I have also had a loss.  It seems like without a home I feel like I have lost independence.  Crazy I know but that is the way I feel.  Took me a while to get over this and even now I am not sure how I feel.

We went to Pooler today looking for some things at Camping World.  Found what we needed and more.  smile!!

Home and a nap.  Not the most productive of days.

FLIP FLOP FLOOZIE GRANDMA!!

We woke up this morning to a gray and foggy morning with mist still in the air.  It rained pretty good during the night!!  Being from Illinois and needing rain like we did this past summer and now when it is really too late rain is coming all over the place.  We took our Kerig favorite coffee cups into Sharon's kitchen and fixed coffee.  She had some blueberry muffins so we sat and talked and drank coffee.   We sat and gabbed for sometime.  Finally we knew that we had to get ourselves going again.  Back to the RV and moving it out of that nice driveway and then hooking up the jeep once again.  We all hated leaving these sweet people that opened their home to us just like they had known us for years. In some ways they did!!  Blogging does that you know.

Sharon took this picture before we left!!  Pretty good of we three Amigos!!  We got all loaded up and took off to Charleston, South Carolina.   We saw beautiful scenery again and it looks just like Georgia.  Guess we are really close now. 

We arrived here around 3 this afternoon; set up and then decided to go into Charleston. We drove in and I think it was right during the going home from work traffic.  We got turned around and decided to go eat. I called this tour place and got a place to go on a tour in the morning.  That really is the best way to see this pretty city.  Hopefully pictures coming tomorrow. 

We have had a restful day.  Not as much driving today for poor Mike.  He has done a great job.  We have driven around 1650 miles now!!  He is a trooper as well as Mother.  I am having a great time.  Mike is really wanting to get into work camping and I think that is a great idea too.  It would give us something to keep doing and still get to see our beautiful country!!

Not much from here today!!  Thanks to those of you that I have found me once again!!

FLIP FLOP!!
