Gettin' Ready

St. Johnsboro, VT. Sonny and Collette in the sled.

Sonny and Collette at Kennebunkport. Bush Seniors place in the distance.

Today's great entry!!!!!! LOL

I left Sonny off the list for the Sitrrep on the last entry.
Presently Sonny is doing good. We have thought he was leaving us a couple times since being home, but he had bounced back. He is on dialysis three days a week. He is handling that pretty well. His biggest problem is he cannot walk. The rehab folks have him walking using a walker for a few steps. He tells me that his left leg just will not listen to him. He can raise and move it but cannot make it make a step. Anyway He is eating on his own and joking with the nurses. He even asked for a book the other day, that was a great improvement. The Rehab where he is, is actually about a mile from his son and three miles from his daughter. They have been put through the mill during the last four months. IF he remains constant we will hit the road as planned.
Now for here. We think the packs are about ready. WE ran across Sherry’s hiking pants that she slid down Mt. Katadin, the seat was worn so we put them in the garbage. “I’ll pick up a new pair at Sports Authority,” she said. LOL
At the store she about had a hemorrhage, the pants were $55 and did not fit the way she wanted. She ain’t crazy about, nor will she wear ‘low riders’. They don’t make old folks clothes anymore. Lol. You know what? Yep, to the trash can, out comes the worn ones, to be patched. LOL. Now they are patched, washed and packed. LOL FAST RECYCLE.
We have had books, maps, campground books, hiking books, New Hampshire Info, Maine info stretched thru the motor home. We have a basic attack plan, now we can’t wait to get in the woods. Hopefully I can make an entry every week or so either from the motor home or a library.
Today is Hardees day. Oh, we got tragic news today. Sherry’s Nephew (44) died yesterday. When his wife found him she had a massive heart attack. She survived, WOW. More later.
Thanks for coming this way,

How did God make mothers?

1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.

2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.

3. God made my mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.
