Well, the van is … ah, not packed, but all the boxes and bags are packed, so the van cannot be far behind. We have managed to need much more space to return than to travel, no great surprise, so it’s good that Jim and Margie are both experts at folding time and space around luggage compartments. Otherwise, Margie’s rocking chair would have to sit on top the van, like Granny’s in The Beverly Hillbillies<\/i>.<\/p>\n
We head out tomorrow morning, relatively early. Looks like the Northern Route (via I-70) will be good-weathered, so we’ll shave off some time that way. We may push through in one day, like was journeyed hither, or we may stop along the way. We’re flexible.<\/p>\n
It’s been great here in Faerie. But it will be really good to be home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
