We drove 342 miles yesterday but are in the state of Florida. We stopped at a motel right on the ocean. I can hear the waves breaking on the shore as I write. We shall leave "mid-summer" today and enter "spring" in Georgia and the Carolinas. I'll be seeing you soon. Much love to you both. Lucille.Language
