In the predawn hours of December 4, we were once again on our way! Our trusty truck seemed to growl in happy anticipation of yet another journey south, despite the weight of the camper, loaded to the gills with everything that might possibly be needed for the four month stay in Mexico. Some intense negotiation during the packing process yielded a satisfying cache of holiday decorations, music, art and sewing supplies as well as clothing enough to make the move south permanent . . . Larry’s gracious consolation, Bonnie thinks, for pre-holiday departure from the cozy new nest!
The day was ideal for travel. Dawn brought on a cerulean blue sky with a few broken pastel colored clouds to the east. Relieved to finally be on the road, after a number of delays, and fueled by good, strong coffee, we relaxed and progressed beyond the “departure grouchies” and enjoyed some good conversation as we motored down I-5. The truck seemed to slip into automatic pilot after so many trips down the familiar route, past the rolling hills of Southern Oregon and beyond, to Mount Shasta.
Hmmm….a strange little bejeweled spider mysteriously appeared on the dash of the cab. This obviously was not just any ordinary arachnid! Not only was it made of beads and crystals . . .it TALKED! This little creature turned out to be quite a character!
