November 1, 2005



Well, Sebastian and I have been tricked rather than treated. We spent last night in Bearfoot parked behind Colonial Glass in Richmond. Kind of a spooky place after dark. Bearfoot has had two broken windshields in two week period. Not a misprint, 2 windshields, both the same side. Both from stress fractures. It seems whoever owned Bearfoot before must have had trouble with the frame and kinda cobbled it up so they could sell it. Their cob job worked for me for 6,000 miles. I have decided to fix the glass, drive it to LazyDays RV repair in FL and trade it for something newer. I thrashed it around and around in my poor brain all weekend and after some sleepless nights, have decided I really love this way of life. I want to continue so therefore, I need a nice dependable rolling home. I even considered downsizing in the camper department and buying a small home in the mountains. I will eventually buy a home in the mountains of VA but not for awhile. I still want to live the gypsey life. Being with my family or should I say being "next to my family" since I park in their yards has been grand. I want to continue doing this for as long as I am able. While I was in Waynesboro visiting a friend over the weekend, I got to join my dear friends, Wendy and Janet for a tour of the current exhibit at the Kluge Ruhe Museum in Charlottesville. We then went to the Twisted Branch Tea Cafe for lunch which was lots of fun. The artwork at the museum which is all done by aboriginal artists some very current, gives one a birds eye view of life in Austrailia much of it from women's prospective. The landscapes convey a feeling of tapestry in vivid primary colours. Perfectly wonderful. Sunday, my friend Ben and I took an excursion train ride from Verona northward towards Harrisonburg and then returned. The autumn colours were spectacular. Lots of folks came out and line the tracks to wave at us and we blew by. I mean literally blew. The whistle was lusty and loud and often. Such fun! Here are a couple of pics. I will post more tomorrow.
