My son and daughter are on their way to Missouri.  My son in law has a training out in Missouri for some months, and Jess is going to stay there with him.  She’s pregnant and due in December and ofcourse has my first grandchild with her as well.  My son, Stephen, drove with her thankfully so she’s not alone.  They’ve been updating everyone as they go.  They are staying at the Peppermill on the Nevada/Utah border.  So I know they are nice and safe and sound tonight.

I’m alone out here in my home.  Well, me and my sweet dog.  I can’t drive because of the seizures, so I’m truly out here alone.  There are folks that have said they would come assist if I need to go somewhere.  And I can certainly walk to the local bus stop, the one in the town.  But – no need to go anywhere.

Today I’ve been down – but I think it’s because I’m realizing my daughter is going to be so far away.  I am in California and now my daughter, her hubby and my sweet grandson are in Missouri.  My son James, is stationed in Hawaii.  My son Stephen will be in Missouri for awhile.  So, here I am in the middle (kinda) of all of my kids.

I’ve been thinking of moving out of the state in the future.  I can’t grow old here in California very well financially.  It’s way too expensive out here.  So I’ve been looking where my family came from – well, early 1800s that is – Ursa, Illinois.  We’ll see where it takes me.  Could also go to Wisconsin where my family was too.  I have the urge to get “back to my roots”.  Quite frankly, with my kids spread all over the US it feels like, what does it truly matter where I am?

Still off on disability again.   No driving again.  Sokay.  It will all be ok.

    I’m sorry your there alone (with your trust companion)! Sometimes that can get the best of you! I think its neat to trace your history and if your spirit is calling or longing to be else where, perhaps you will be! My heart and spirit longs to be out in the country. I have a vision already and who knows maybe some day :) Thinking of you <3
