Garden Ridge to Fort Worth to Memphis

We got up at 4:30 am, and true to our years of Navy training we got "underway" at 5.  I did an odometer check in the driveway and it read 14,733 miles.  We would have arrived at Steve and Mary Weis' at precisely 9 am, but had to move the RV due to a neighbor getting pool work done, so we had to go down the street some.  Roger had told Mary that we'd arrive between 9 - 9:30, we rang there doorbell at 9:02.  It's always great to see Steve and Mary.  We had breakfast with them and after a short 2 hour visit were back on the road.  We drove 775 miles today.  There isn't anything we really want to see between San Antonio and Memphis, since we've made this trip several times.  In fact Roger just made the trip a week and a half ago with Trent.  We're camping in Lakeland TN, wishing Mary Ann and Danny were still living here, but glad they're truly happy out in Temeculah CA.  Tomorrow we'll mosey 348 miles "north" to Louisville to visit Mom and then southeast to Kingsport TN for Jessika's wedding.  I don't expect to have much noteworthy to write about between now and J's wedding.

Getting ready

We're gearing up for our roadtrip.  Putting things into the RV, checking out the RV with a target departure of Saturday.  Jorie Mueller is our house sitter, and she'll be moving in on Saturday.  Our theme song for the trip is Enjoy Yourself (It's later than you think), focusing on the refrain.

You work and work for years and years, you're always on the go;

You never take a minute off, too busy makin' dough.

Someday, you say, you'll have your fun when you're a millionaire --

Imagine all the fun you'll have in your old rockin' chair.

 

Refrain:

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think;

Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink.

The years go by as quickly as a wink --

Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.

You're gonna take that ocean trip, no matter, come what may;

You've got your reservations but you just can't get away.

Next year, for sure, you'll see the world, you'll really get around --

But how far can you travel when you're six-feet under ground?
