North to Massachusetts

Yesterday was family farewell party #2 at daughter Emily's house, but without Bob (who was visiting his friend Kevin) or Tim and Bernie (who were doing some plastering on their house.) We had a lovely afternoon spending a few more hours together.

This morning I took Auggie into Kristen's fenced-in backyard for a few minutes and was startled to see her cat, Dobby, running across the yard. Dobby is not allowed outside. So I picked him up and put him back in the kitchen. A couple of minutes later I saw him shoving his fat self between the uprights of the railing that surrounds their patio area. He just barely fit.

They should call him Jabba the Hut!

Then it was time to pull in the slides and drive  the motorhome north to western Massachusetts.

It was a lovely day for a ride, with blue skies and puffy clouds. Even the temperatures were more comfortable than they had been the last week. Traffic was fine as we traveled through northern NJ along the congested part of the state. We had a little problem with the driver's side shade which kept lowering more and more as we went along. I stuck a chip clip on it to hold it to the seatbelt and keep it from lowering any further until we found a safe place to pull over and manually wind it up.

Just one of those little things that can happen when you are driving your house down the road!

Pretty soon we were in the Berkshire Mountains, a really nice area to spend some time in during the summer. There are pretty little towns, lakes, and of course, mountains.

It may rain tomorrow, and if it does, I'm going to Webs! Ok, even if it doesn't rain I'm probably going. ;)
