WINDING DOWN AND HEADING HOME

The day, our last on the road before sprinting for home. began with an elegant breakfast coupled with wonderful sunny Autumn views out over the valley -- a great way to begin!


The Columbus Day holiday gave us the opportunity as well to visit with Dianne's daughter Susannah, her husband, Nick, and their kids, Ben and Rowan.  We all went out to an outdoor sculpture exhibit at a local orchard in the morning and then returned for a splendid lunch before the two of us left to begin the last leg of our trip back to Ohio.
 

Our highway travel through out the day took us through some wonderful Fall scenery, especially in western Massachusetts and the Berkshires, flooded with warmth and sunshine.  This made the drive all the more bearable, so we drove on and on until we reached Seneca Falls this evening.  A chicken wing dinner at Abigail's next to our motel satisfied our minimal food cravings in a most satisfying way.

Tomorrow will made the final dash for home (where, we are assured, both Rocco and Gracie are surviving nicely).

Heidi is also working diligently this evening to reestablish phone contact with assorted folks we've not been in contact with for the last several weeks.  It appears we'll be able to hit the ground running once we get back to town!

One more entry to come will summarize the trip and include an illustrated overview -- watch for it in a day or two!
