Her Highness on her pillow on the console
The strange motel room wasn't something she took well to, finally settling in on the big bed with us, we all got a good night's sleep in New Market, VA. Next morning, she seemed almost relieved to be back in the confines of the car...a late morning start as we were only going 250 miles today. We got involved in a really good TV show that morning, remember "The Parent Trap" ? This was a remake and the little girls (girl) was just delightful and played the parts so well. Need more wholesome shows like this one.
We arrived in the afternoon at the cousins (The P & J B&B), a great, friendly and hospitable AND pet friendly place to spend the day and the night. The chef here sure knows how to whip up a delicious pot of New England Corn Chowder ! Complete with sandwich choices of sandwich and a healthy salad. Even a great pumpkin dessert with whipped cream! YUM! Good food, good company and a nice visit, and a great night's rest in a big comfy bed. We definitely give this a 5 Star rating !

Leaving early in the morning on Tuesday, 6:30 AM, as we have a long day today to reach Sunshine Village well before dark to unload just the necessities, leaving the rest until the morning when we are rested and up to unpacking. Today was a LONG one! The dregs of my chest cold made me an unhappy traveler! I wanted to take a nice long nap in a bed!! We finally arrived at 5:15 PM and unloaded the cooler which had a partially thawed container of homemade soup which we had for supper. More cold meds and I was off to bed. Miss Kitty seems to realize that this isn't a motel room or someone else's place but her home away from home. No hiding under the bed here!
Wed. was a slow day and today, Thurs. is a much better day! The weather here is WARM ! Yesterday was really HOT but this morning we had a bit of rain and some clouds and it is quite nice out now. I am hibernating as I don't want to chance sharing my cold with anyone. Den has been busy outside cleaning and weeding and getting his stuff settled. He won't start his work here until Monday. He couldn't stay away though, and spent some time looking over some of the jobs going on around here. I'm always so thankful that all things work around the place as we turn on one thing after another.
Now there is more rain falling.... it is welcome... keeps it so nice and green here. These showers refresh but don't usually settle in for a whole day. I'll have to watch for a rainbow if the sun peeks through after this one. Time for my nap ! Did a good morning's work and will curl up in the big chair and nod off as I catch up on some reading. Thanking you all for your prayers for us and our journey. Blessings to you all !
A wonderful thought to ponder....."Our God loves each one of us as if there were only one of us."
YES! what a wonderful thought that is!! I often think, "He would have died for me even if I was the only sinner living on the earth."
ReplyDeleteJust loved your travelling story and we knew Miss Kitty would do well. She probably knew just from the smells that she was "home" for the winter. I hope you are feeling much better now and that you both get rested up well this weekend. The sound of "Chowda" was nice...I'm making my pumpkin, apple, cheddar one for Sunday. Glad the Lord answered prayer in your travels, as we knew He would. It was good to see a post from you, as I was thinking of you this morning. hugs to you!
