The road home

Tues. Mar 11

Lovely day. Too bad we’re leaving. As I’m giving Leila her good morning pet, I discover a tick. Gypsy had one 2 days ago which gets us to wondering if these carry lyme disease like the ones in Connecticut. Having no rubbing alcohol we use Tequilla as disinfectant.
We’re travelling north on #501 to catch up with I-95. Cell phone rings for the second time in 2 days. First call was from our oldest son wishing his father a happy birthday. Today’s is our neighbour asking if we have a spare key hidden somewhere as the cleaning lady has locked herself out. Nope, is the answer.
I persuade Al to pull into a big box mall – another Ross store (very inexpensive bedding), but it doesn’t open for another 20 minutes. After lunch I drive for roughly 4 hours.
Skip to the end of a very long and somewhat boring day. We’ve stopped at a Days Inn on the outskirts of Waynesboro, Virginia, not too distant from the junction of 64 & I-81 north. We could possibly be home tomorrow, somewhat late; but then again maybe not.
Sorry no photos today.
