We're ready! After my last post I put up new flyers, and waited.
I regret that I freaked some people out by posting on the "world wide web." I really appreciate the love and care shown me, but please know that I never reveal personal information, and if someone I did not know had responded, I simply would have ignored them. Likewise, my FB post was for family and friends only, and if someone else had responded without a referral, I simply would not have replied. The Craig's List notice was a blind post and simply said that a "company" was asking for bids to pull a trailer round-trip from Texas to Iowa. No worries, I promise.
And, drum roll please.....
On Wednesday I got a knock at my door, yes, at my door....
Meet this beautiful person, Bettie....

Saturday morning I went with Bettie to the local Farmer's Market to stock up on some nutritious items for our trip.
That evening I went with another neighbor, Elaine, to see the fireworks. We sat on our lawn chairs in the middle of a field, had a wonderful breeze, and an amazing view. Thank you City of Georgetown!

There was a time that would have frustrated me so, and I would have wailed and moaned at the time lost, the things not done, but slowly, day by day, I am learning. I am learning to love what is, and allow my body to take the time it needs. It will catch up one day and I will be able to be active without repercussion. I just know it. I claim it.
Until then, I will Keep on Keeping On. KOKO! Stay tuned for highlights of Debra and Bettie's Excellent Adventure. Road Trip! I am so excited. So grateful.

Coming This Month
Kaleidoscope 9, a collection of unrelated short stories by .... me
Enjoy this excerpt from Gone But Not Forgotten:
“Movement to my left caught me by surprise. A pink, hairless dog walked up. His quivering body and bewildered eyes were asking me for help, but I didn’t know what to do. He was begging for me to do something, anything, so I opened the door to the cab of the truck and let him inside. Once again I knew my actions were futile, but it was something.”
glad you found someone to go with you and someone you know and can trust. i wish you both a safe trip
