Check list’s are growing

Do you all make check lists when you are going to travel? I find that my list’s grow every day – I think I have 4 of them now!  LOL I can’t possibly forget anything can I?  you bet! I’m sure something will be left behind.  Today we drove to our daughter Melanie’s house in North Little Rock to drop off the 2 houseplants and the 2 outside porch ferns and for a last visit for two months.  She will give them tender loving care until we are home again.  She was going to bring them home with her last weekend but then didn’t think about until she got here that there would be no room for plants with the big dog in the car!  We knew it would be too hot this afternoon to do anything anyhow so told her it was no problem to drive in this afternoon on her day off and take care of it.  We had wanted to stop at Camping World anyhow to see if there was anything they had we wanted to pick up for the trip.  Found a nice sturdy step for outside the camper.  Occasionally depending on the unevenness of the ground the bottom step coming up into the camper can be a little high.  This extra little step will come in really handy.

I have been crossing things off of my list’s and then remember more things to add to them.  If I don’t write them down I will forget for sure.

I will be so glad to get out of this hot weather and move on to places that have at least cooler mornings and evenings.  It will be so nice to look out the big window in the back of the motorhome and possible see wildlife or the snow capped mountains when I open my eyes in the morning (after I put my glasses on that is! – every thing very far away is blurry until then)   We stopped at Barnes and Nobles also and found a book on traveling through Wyoming.  Even though we have been through the state numerous times we have not spent as much time there as we will be this time and it will be a good read for finding out of the way places that we might not have thought of or seen before.  We already know of some places that we want to see again that we have seen in the past.   We do intend to see a lot of the Oregon Trail sites.  We have visited some of the places when the girls were young but have not been back to many of them in years.

We intend to visit Fort Laramie and Independence Rock to name two places.  Many more and I will fill you all in on as many places as I can while we travel.  I hope we will have internet access much easier than in the past with this new smart phone that we have.  I guess we will soon find out how well it works – if not then we will be visiting libraries and coffee shops as well

I have another Dear Jane triangle cut out and ready to start piecing if I get around to it tomorrow.
