Well, the twenty-four hour drive from the north country of NH to Clearwater, FL is behind. Waiting for the household goods to arrive. Let nobody ever tell you moving isn't a monumental hassle. It darn sure is.

The trip was without problems. God enabled us to assist a young couple from Rocky Mount, NC with their tire trouble. They needed to use our jack.I had to put air in our right front tire in Newark, NJ. That was it, thank God.

That little 1997 Toyota Camry, with 227,000 miles on it, rolled towing a 16'X7' utility trailer all the way. The studded winter tires, the peeling paint, the utter unattractiveness, were no impediment to our 1,400 mile odyssey.

At a rest area, a deranged woman jumped into the utility trailer and tossed a large piece of my luggage out on to the ground. She's clearly lost touch with reality. I could only put it back and feel sorry for this insane young woman.

We give thanks for God always providing for our needs....including good weather. On to a new life, one where I won't feel I'm being used and exploited....taken for granted.
