I am seated in a cozy booth at Panera Bread in Short Pump, VA. It is 7:45 p.m. on a sunday night. I decided the only way to get the blog published and the photos uploaded was to come in here since the phone modem at Lisa and George's is so weak. This is really nice since I am enjoying a lovely supper while typing. Their cheddar cheese and broccoli soup is great. We just toured the marathon route all over Richmond awhile ago. I am awestruck to think that my daughter will be able to run 26 miles all over the City, across the James River twice and end up at Shockoe Slip downtown. It will be an exciting day on Saturday. I am parked in my daughter's yard in Hanover County. I am so close to their back door that I can fall out of my door and into their garage. It is nice there parked under huge, ancient oak trees that as of today started dropping their leaves like snowflakes. All night long, Bashey and I heard the leaves tumbling on the roof. He barked from time to time and once I heard something walking through the leaves right around the motorhome. I lifted the shade to take a peak but the moon was dark and I couldn't see a thing. I think it was a deer. I've moved my departure time up to the 14th of Nov. because I want to get to FL, Tampa to be exact, as soon as possible. I will want to look at MH's and negotiate a trade. Since my reservations begin Dec. 1st Lake San Marino in Naples, I need about a week of lee time. I have some commitments with friends in Oriental, NC, where I lived for several years and will keep those but am cutting out Thanksgiving. I know it will be a sad day for me but I feel I must stay focused on the job at hand which is to trade this Bearfoot for another stronger better one. So Bashey and I will be on the road soon. Here are some more photos of my train ride and the foliage here in Goochland.
