5am is for suckers, and truckers, and other things that rhyme with suckers.
Welcome to life on the road. When I turned on the light in the still dark room Stephanie said, "Faggot! You didn't have to turn on the big light all at once!". This mirrored my feelings exactly, including that sickly feeling you get in your stomach when you wake up after too little sleep. I wanted to be on the road at 5am, but after loading the bags and triple checking everything, and saying goodbye to sherb, it was more like 5:20. Not bad for working with a Salsig woman.
I know that you all feel the same way that I do about lists; it's fun to cross them off. Here's the list we made yesterday, and that I finally crossed off this morning.

Um, I'm not sure that one wants to dis one's travelling companion before one even begins one's 6000 mile trip! Hope the rest of the day has gone well -- see ya in a few! Love, Mom
Hi Ho Silver--Away!!!!! So Ranger Jon and his trusty companion and the famous horse, Silver (oops! I guess the name should be Copper? or Bronze? Never could figure the color of that piece of transportation!) are finally on their way to go where 3 like- creatures have never gone before!! Hope you-all haven't
been ambushed by the "bad guys" or come upon any quicksand! Remember, (or maybe you're too young to have seen the show), there are always plenty of rocks to hide behind or spring out of on your mission to make the Wild West a safer place for us, the ordinary, peace-loving citizen! I'm sure you-all will find some good beddin under the old home campfire tonight! A welcome site, I reckon! And all that home-cooked grub!! I hope you-all like grubs! Let us know how they go down! Seriously, I'm so glad you have such a glorious retreat to rest and visit and put that old horse to stable.
Missy is right here beside me trying to give me suggestions and tips, but somehow the meaning gets lost in the translation. I'm sure she is sympathizing with Sherb.
I love that picture of the dawn's early light! I don't imagine we'll be seeing much more of that from your comments this morn, however! Keep the pics coming! Hope the day was a trouble-free one and full of joy! California Mom XOX
