MAY 2017

Starting the month of May back where this Saga began in Las Vegas after leaving a tearful scene in Simi Valley CA two days ago. Met with a dear friend here in Vegas , had dinner and enjoyed a couple of hours of reminiscing . Boondocking in North Las Vegas I'm ready to start the Trek North to Evergreen Colorado and the visit with Tom Hickey a dear old friend from high school.  With any good luck he will keep the snow at his house elevation of 8600 feet and leave the roads below him clear for us 40 foot RVs to enjoy in safety. 

Headed out of Colorado, staying overnight at 8000 feet is difficult when not used to the thin air.  On the way to I70 then I80 Into Nebraska.  Heading to Wells Maine, should be there by the ninth.  My baby's 40th on the ninth, can't believe my youngest is 40.  I must be old. Driving through some cold weather but can't wait to get to Maine. 

In Wells Maine, settled down and taking the day off after 3000 miles in 9 days.  Sitting somewhere other than the driver's seat feels good.  Sunday, mom's day spent with my daughter, her wife, our other little mother of our beautiful grandkids and the kiddies.  Brunch was wonderful kids spent the day at the arcade in Dave and Buster's and the adults at the bar for a few hours just relaxing and talking. Great afternoon​.  Back up in Maine awaiting the end of the precip enjoying a lazy bleak Monday afternoon. 

Jayme and Tracy going to a Redsocks game and we get the kids.  Afternoon of bowling, such fun, kids are jokers, snacks and games, great day.  Back in Arlington at Not Your Average Joe's for light dinner, we're all full from bowling snacks.  Back to the house and an hour long talk on FaceTime with Brooke and Jordan in SoCal nice seeing them interact together, boy are they growing up. Brooke had a soccer tournament in Irvine SoCal and as goalie, came in first.  Great job Brooke... Wish I were there, save some of that greatness for the winter season when we're back in California.

Just arrived in Saugus MA for about 3 days visits with the kids then a little traveling music then up to Maine again for a few weeks before heading to Virginia.
