GMC Motor Home, Travel with Teri and Dan

Teri's Tidbits

Hi YA'ALL,
I understand that ya'all have been wondering about this trip from a my perspective...
We have been blessed with many friendly faces and have been welcomed on each Lord's Day in the congregations we have found along our journey. But, I MISS...the familar smiling faces and hugs from our brothers and sisters there at home in Dexter. There's no place like HOME. Ours just happens to be on wheels right now.
We left Missouri and had a great visit with Matt & Barb and kids, Dan's brother and family. Then a wonderful visit with the daily lives of our son-in-law, daughter and g'kids. Filled with ball games, b-day parties and just great memories.
It was hairy traveling across the desert in 110+ heat but Dan was a cool, patient and caring hubby. I lived in Arizona for 20+ years before I married Dan and moved to Missouri, but DIDN'T MISS the heat.
Stopped a week in the San Fransico area and our hosts, Jim & Grace, we had a special dinner on fisherman's wharf. What fun we had seeing the city night lights of Frisco off the side of a cable car. Even tho' we took the wrong car and had to walk several blocks, on a cool evening, we warmed up with a virgin English coffee and lots of good visiting with plenty of laughs. Lafter with good friends is fun but I don't MISS the big cities and people.
Traveling then on up the coast to the gentle giants...redwoods. They are breath taking and you can truely see GOD's handiwork each mile we drive on our journey.
Our next hosts were Bert & Fay...They live up the side of a mountain, thick with redwoods and ferns. It was the most peaceful and restful place I have been in a very long time. DIDN'T MISS the hussle and bussle of the city. Even tho we were in the middle of no where, life still goes on and the sun continues to shine-HA!
We left there and drove up the coast line taking our time and enjoying stops and ofcourse you have seen all the beautiful places we have, seen thru the pictures we have taken.
That brings us to where we are now. Again some wonderful friends, Jerry & Rosemary, opening up there lives and home, sharing meals and their special corner of their world with us. From where our GMC is parked you can hear the sea gulls, smell the sea and see the fish jumping in the water inlet. Today we picked buckets of blackberries, and out the back of the coach is a berry patch that supplies a wonderful treat. We have been exploring the coast on the bluffs, loved the close encounter with the deer, and the eagles we watched from the kyaks.
I MISS so very much the kids and g'kids there in Dexter. Thank goodness for the cell phone and e-mail. I MISS my washer and dryer... maybe I will share my laundry mat experiences some time.
Come to think of it each place we have stopped, has had a GMC garage/shop and at least 2 to 3 GMCs...hmmmm. These GMCers are very special folks.
What an experience we are sharing and for those of you who are interested, yes Dan and I are really enjoying our 24/7 time together.
Well, I guess you are sorry you asked, huh? Teri
