We left Rick & Donna’s home, 210 Tolend Road, Dover NH today at 7:40 for the first leg of our trip to Colorado under cloudy, foggy skies. We had spent almost 5 weeks there getting organized, taking care of setting up residence in FL and other banking business. While in Dover we had a chance to visit with family and friends before leaving NH. We had lunch with Cousin Linda and her husband Tom and with Ma Tante Syl and Peg last Thursday. What a wonderful afternoon we had visiting, laughing and especially hearing the story of the picture we had of Linda when she was about 12. In the picture her bangs were very short, which she had cut herself. Ma Tante Syl and Peg told me I had Memere Fortin’s eyes – how cool is that!
Before leaving we secured and stowed items on board – have to remember that things shift in travel and we’ve already hit some pretty rough spots on the bridges on 495. Rene hooked up the car, remembering to put the vehicle in neutral. When all was ready Donna took pictures of the rig and us, including Kirstie. We had a wonderful time at Rick & Donna’s. We walked St. Martin’s cemetery, almost daily, with Sue Bopp and her mom with Donna. We also got to see, almost daily, deer and even once her babies. There were also turkeys and a couple had chicks. What a nice spot they have. Thank you so much Rick and Donna for your hospitality. This also gave Donna and me a chance to spend time with each other, which was wonderful. She was very helpful in so many ways and Rene and I really appreciate being able to “camp” on their land.
Massachusetts roads are horrible – I’ll sign off for now.
