On the road with The GeoVanii!!

On the road again!! More than just a song to us at the moment! We tossed the last of our things in and were on the road around 11:30 this morning. Took the back roads to the ease out of Plano and made the drive through the country. Wylie, Rockwall, and Terrell were the major “burgs” on our route before we turned to US Hwy 80 in Terrell. When we came through Wylie, (that sounds strange – my brother-in-law is named Wylie!) we saw a ram-shackle little fall-down looking barbeque place. Knew instantly that it required a stop for lunch. We had just been talking about needing to grab a bite before we ran out of places to stop! Wow! Great “Q!” Best we’ve had since we’ve been here! Nice thoroughly smoked but mild, served without the ubiquitous overpowering tomato-based sauce, Just a nicely flavored broth-type sauce liberally sprinkled over on the meat! What a surprise to find this on the way out of the area! Reminded me of a place I stumbled onto just out of Macon, GA many years ago! Different type Q but the same measurement criteria!

We found that we could run about an hour to an hour and a half before we had to take a break for Sharon to get up and stretch out a little! That was one of the factors that has set such an uncertain time on our getting home! We did stop by some caches and they seemed to be just the ticket to get her out and limber again for the next run! All in all, it seems to be working out well!

I went to the office of the Extended Stay to check out and say thanks for all the extra things that that Daniel, the manager, has done to make Sharon’s recovery as good as it could be. When I mentioned that one of the best things he did was provide the type recliner chair for her, he asked if she had one at home that would be that comfortable. It told him that no, but we had found the model she needed to meet those criteria. He asked if we wanted to take THAT specific chair with us! WHAT!?! Sure enough, it was a style of chair that Extended Stay had phased out and he just happened to have one or two left in the storage room. Yes, we TOOK the chair! That will give us a little slack in having to run out and get one to fit her needs immediately! I unloaded the little trailer and reloaded to put the weight up front! Wow! Great care and what a give away!! Thanks, Daniel!!

Getting time to shut down and get her bed made! She is using the dinette for her bed and that’s also the computer room! In a small unit like this, things have to do double or triple duty!! Like me – I’m driver, cache grabber, dog walker, and a whole bunch of things else! Yeah, that’s me, Old Double Duty!!! [:D]

Until next,

Cheers!
