IS IT 1,468 MILES OR 1,185 MILES ?

it doesn't really matter, but Mapquest says 1,468 miles and Gertrude, our GPS, says 1,185 miles to Melisa and John's front door.  It's a long trip, and we've driven it so many times simply because we're always taking something to Melisa and John.  But this time we were anticipating our first visit with Henry Donald.
     So we packed, loaded the truck and hit the road ... Don does all of the driving, simply because I tend to fall asleep on long trips, so it's gruesome for him but he is able to finally unwind, and we do stop often so that helps some!  But the real victims of these road trips are ...


My poor, poor swollen feet and toes, and I even wear anti-embolism stockings on the advice of my doctor.  Guess I should issue a WARNING that these pictures may be offensive to some; however, the good news is that after almost a week, the feet and toes begin to look ...

more like normal feet and toes, okay, I still need a pedicure, and I've managed to have a blister on the left foot and bites on my right toes, but the feet are 98% back to normal!  YIPEE!!  Until next time ...
