Funeral Ready

So another adventure again. Before it can begin, the house has to be funeral ready. Carole won’t leave until the house is presentable. She wouldn’t want something to happen to her and strangers go in the house and find the bed unmade. We had to put on clean sheets and make up the beds before we headed out this morning. I was so glad we are headed north today.
 We saw three south bound backups that went on for miles. If we had been on our side it would have taken an extra three hours to get here. Sometimes you are just lucky.
We are in Staunton, Virginia tonight. It was picked as a place to stop because it was, like halfway between two points, convenient to the interstate, and had places to eat close by. Boy what a find. This place was settled in 1747! It is the home of Woodrow Wilson with his library here. It is a very cool old town. Lots of history, very vibrant downtown area, large beautiful churches and a courthouse square. I wish we had planned some time here. We make take a couple of extra hours tomorrow morning to look around before we hit the interstate. Virginia is such a great state with so much history and varied topography. I keep telling myself we need to spend more time here. That damn bucket list just keeps getting longer.
