Message in a Minute; Heading East

My desire to blog has suffered greatly during this pandemic, I have tried to write so many times and it all sounded trite, the same as the editorial writers and interviewees on zoom were saying; they could not get their thoughts together either. Perhaps more of that in another blog. We are headed east to Rochester, our home town and our wonderful downtown apartment after spending close to 6 months on our California, Jojoba Hills SKP RV resort in Aguanga, CA. It is a tiny town nestled in the high desert Palomar mountain range. What a wonderful few months it was, delving into the life in a volunteer, caring and loving community. We stopped for 5 days to visit our son, daughter in law and two wonderful grandsons on their beautiful farm called Cheval Noir,- (yes, they have 2 beautiful black horses) from a hardy old breed dating back to the 1500’s. But, heading to Rochester for us is another joy. We will see our grandson, a student at the U of R,  friends from decades ago and some more recent acquaintances, catch up with the rich cultural scene and perhaps do some traveling after our trip to Boston this coming weekend for a long awaited  Bat Mitzvah. Paul has shared his blog with details of our trip from the RV POV, cost of fuel, and other logistics. We have had no problem finding overnight campsites and have has some good adventures in that realm. We still enjoy our nomadic life and seeing the beauty of this country and the people we meet. Be well all. Some photos to share; Dan’s tractor, Malena’s horse Tivoli, and the spring garden.
