You are back! I hadn’t heard from you. I was so worried about you Carol. I sent you many emails. No response.

Hi Neera,

Thank you for " thinking of me". I just completed a teaching assignment in Arizona and now I plan to pick up where I left off. I hope you're doing well and I'm wondering if you and your husband are planning a trip soon.

Next time you go away, please put a note on your site. I was really worried and wanted to ask Substack people to trace you. But I wondered how would they be able to.

Our travel plans are on hold because we have nowhere to put my father-in-law. He is in perfect health but does want to go anywhere or stay with anyone else.

Yes I will put a note on my site if I go away again. Is your father in law living with you now. I take it he doesn't want to travel but stay at home. I understand your situation...but you have so much work to keep you busy. It's all good Neera!

We’ve been contemplating on getting a small bus for this exact journey. Love your outlook on this idea and the fact that you are going for your adventure. Your momma would be proud.

Hi Sheila,

I started this journey 4 years ago. I purchased the van online from St. Cloud, Minn. At first I was nervous about buying it online, without looking at it in person. But it turned out to be a good experience.

Mama and I went camping last June for one night. We camped at Frog Holler near Grenada for one night, and they let us use the community kitchen to cook breakfast. I invited Mama’s sister-in-law and nephew. I’m so glad I made that effort. I cooked everyone a β€œwestern omelet”. Attached is a picture. Hope you like it.

Hi Sheila,

Last June 2023, Mama and I went camping at Frog Holler. Near Grenada. I cooked breakfast the next morning and invited her sister-in-law and nephew. We all had such a wonderful time around 7 a.m. I’m so glad that I made it happen.

Mama enjoyed herself. I attached some pictures I took. I hope that you will enjoy them. Thanks, Sheila.
