Five Favorite Things from the Road, the Last Leg: June 20th

Margarette:

1. Slept great in an unknown town!

2. Reminiscing about the trip as we drove

3. Loved having Jason (the AARP videographer) with us again

4. Picking Dene up at airport in the great big truck

5. The thrill of coming home and having an 18 wheeler in the driveway and my husband in the house

6. The best thing...going back...was when we went into the first nursing home we went into where the people were terribly sick...I said to myself, "Dear God, put into my brain what I need to say to these people" suddenly out of the blue came to me to quote Rose Kennedy. It really spoke to them. I haven't thought of that in some 30 years. It was the perfect thing. I talked about making the most of where you are regardless of where that is.

Annabella: 

1.  Waking up in an unplanned overnight stop and not needing to know where we were, only where we were going

2.  Spending some time reflecting on the trip, going down memory lane while we were going down the highway

3.  Picking Dene up at the airport

4.  Having a blast at the nursing home in Ocala-- great people there and really fun party

5.  Arriving at Margarette's house safe and sound 45 minutes ahead of schedule as we did for the whole trip
