Welcome, Vanessa!!! I KNEW you'd be here!I'm here!
Welcome, Vanessa!!! I KNEW you'd be here!I'm here!
I’m excited for you and happy to follow along on your road trip
That's me too and while Kentucky doesn't have a lot, there is a river that sure looks fun to kayak on. Tucson...?? Well, hmm...I’m at the point in my life that the warmer the state the better and I need water close by.
Oh man!! Meeee too!! I adore the Florida islands so much.I would love a place on one of the islands or waterways in Florida!
Well, hello there and back!! It's wonderful to see you here and have you following along!How exciting! Looking forward to following your adventure
If I could, we would pack up the truck and the 5th wheel tomorrow and head to Alaska to explore for a month or so
Well, okay, fair point. I did learn a lot of the culture THROUGH learning the language and that is sure worth something!
I had to google what that was.Awww, does PK need a busy board?
Whoa! That looks amazing!
Made on a fried bread with the toppings (YMMV) you see. Sooo incredibly delicious!!
I had to google what that was.
And... yes.
Whoa! That looks amazing!
Want.
Hey, that looks pretty fun!
I do remember that and didn't realize/remember your screen name!! That was such a quick (too quick!) Meet up involving a lot of people I didn't know very well. We need a re-do!!! I have to drive literally right by Opryland on my route, so we'll definitely make this happen. Not sure the date yet, but somewhere around Sept. 23rd? And yes, it was right about Sept/Oct 2010.Safe travels! And I am looking forward to your adventures!
And let me know when you are in Nashville. I don't go into the downtown area much anymore but I live right around the corner from Opryland.
And we have actually met in real life once...you were with "Maroo" (Mary) when she brought Lauren to Nashville and you all came into The Disney Store where I was working to say hello...very long time ago...before we closed the store on that side of the mall so it was before 2/2010. At least I think that was you, lol.

That's so AWESOME, Vanessa!! I will PM you to solidify details soon. I THINK we'll be in your state on or near Sept 17th-19th-ish? or so? Not totally sure yet. But as we know more and toodle along, we'll for sure keep you updated.I'm excited to follow along with your adventures. I do admire you for making such a big change. I understand wanting to be closer to your family too. Your kids are all adults living their own lives. Are still passing near Louisiana? The plans we had for September have been cancelled so I'm available if you pass by.
However, depending on the selected playlist of my 24-year old son traveling with me, that could change rather quickly. He may be a character quickly written out of the script.
Might also depend on the snacks he brings for us.
Who is this 24-year old son I speak of? Let me introduce Zach, an all-around good “kid” who loves his job at Home Depot.
My goodness. That seems to be such a rarity these days.He is a hard worker, loyal beyond all reason, and genuinely polite.
Ah, yes. Familiar with that family model.Unless he’s interacting with his 19-year old sister. As with all siblings, they have a love-hate relationship, but if push came to shove, he’d defend her beyond all reason.
Good for him! That will serve him well.Yep, you read that right, I have a boy that likes to experiment with seasonings and different flavor combinations
Very much so. Good for him.To leave the home he’s known most of his life takes a lot of courage.
I really admire him for taking the chance on starting a new chapter in his life
Wonderful you have friends like that who step up for you.Greg and Marcia are the most faithful, generous, fun-loving friends a girl could ever have. They have stuck by me through thick and thin. Life can be hard, and that’s when you find out who your real friends are.
Where?!You can read all about that trip HERE.
mmm...Greg makes a wicked delicious salsa with their homegrown tomatoes
She's been subverted!and Marcia’s favorite new cocktail is a Pisco Sour thanks to moi!
Oh, and Greg’s peach cobbler. Which I’m eating right now for the 2nd time this week. My butt loves it too.
Nice! That sounds like a lot of fun.Our hope is to meet several DISsers along the way. Tammie(@MAGICFOR2), Vanessa (@vamassey1), and Lynn (@cajunfan) have all offered to meet up and frankly… I CAN’T WAIT!!
I need to hit some southern States.They are soooo goooood!
You're welcome. I want to see photos.Hey, that looks pretty fun!

This story happens to be filled with only protagonists.
Zach(ary) decided to make the move with me a few months ago but was reluctant at first. To leave the home he’s known most of his life takes a lot of courage. Added to the fact, he’ll also be leaving his 3 sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, and his dad and step-mom. I really admire him for taking the chance on starting a new chapter in his life and taking the opportunity to develop deeper relationships with another set of grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is resilient and excited about the new challenges of finding a new job, setting up his own apartment with a yet-to-be-found roommate(s), and becoming more independent.

DronesNo bad guys? Where are the exploding helicopters going to come from?
Snaaaaack!

JK. You forgot to embed the link.
She's been subverted!
That sounds soooooo good!
(Um... the cobbler. Not your butt.)
(Well, okay. Your butt too. )
I need to hit some southern States.
Maybe when the border opens in 3-10 years.
There will be some.You're welcome. I want to see photos.
