Maine to Texas

Finally, on the road south. Leaving the snow and below freezing temps, we are packed and ready

Hitting I95

The cross country ride did not disappoint. I wish I had taken more shots but just when a great view came, it was gone.

Finally warm weather. Short sleeves in Louisiana!

Three days!

Home again. Now to relax and regroup. In about a week the UHaul box arrives and the real work begins, yeeha

Texas to Maine ( and back again )

This adventure begins where most adventures begin, at the beginning.

The time has come for dad to leave his beloved Maine and come stay with us on the third coast. His partner, Carol Ann in now in an excellent memory care unit where she can be cared for and live a quality of life she deserves . The dementia had progressed to the point where dad just was no longer able to provide for her care. It ie a cruel disease that affect everyone involved, not just the victim.

So yesterday, I leave sunny Texas for Maine.

After a long flight and a few delays, it’s good to be on the ground in Portland.

There’s this white stuff EVERYWHERE. I really should speak with someone about this!

So the plan should go something like this:

We take care of the technical stuff first, lawyer, moving notices etc. Then the actual packing of the items coming to Texas. A U-Haul Pod handles this. Once we have it packed up, they pick it up and deliver it to our home. Pretty nice.

The “Pod”…and more of that white stuff!

Once all of the T’s have been crossed and the i’s dotted, and the pod loaded, then dad and I will begin our road trip back down south. More on that later. Now it time to get started…

Home Safe

Traveling is always a mixed bag.

We love to go, see and do. The state o’ Maine is beautiful, no matter when you go.

Its’s always tough though leaving family and friends and heading home. This journey was no exception. The path home to Texas was mostly uneventful, just the typical airport hassles but with some great people watching. East Texas was still there. Still warm. Still wet.(actually wetter) and the “kids” were happy we were back and well taken care of in our absence. 

So for safe keeping (and your enjoyment) here are a few more shots of our latest adventure.
