Oh my goodness, it is the day, Saturday, August llth, we are all dreading – saying “Good Bye” to all the people we became so close to these past two months. Even the clouds are crying tears of rain. The Staff served a continental breakfast, so we could share a couple more minutes together. Some people started leaving as early as 7 a.m. The last ones to leave were the Staff. I think they needed a couple minutes to relax once we all left. Everyone was pretty much heading in different directions, except for Rod, Patty, Bruce and I, as we are stopping to spend a couple nights with friends in Oromocto. They are Dear Friends that we know from Mesa. Several people drove back to the same campground in Maine where we started our trip before they head home. We all promised to keep in touch, so hopefully we will and if we pass through their part of the country, we would stop for a visit. It was drizzling out so I didn’t bring out the camera. We had happier faces last night vs this morning.
Our drive was a short one – about 75 miles – so we got setup and got a few things done in the RV, such as laundry, cleaning and a couple phone calls before we headed to see Cliff and Audry White. They have a lovely home and it was so exciting to see them after 5 months. With them living in New Brunswick, we were able to share our trip with them and they knew what and where we were talking about. Cliff did keep up with us on my blog. Cliff goes golfing almost every day but still keeps up a beautiful yard.
Audry outdid herself with a terrific meal. I even ate Escargot sautéed in butter and garlic. Audry got me to try a tiny piece then I had a complete serving. I hate to admit it, but it was very good. Cliff grilled Barbecued Ribs and the meat fell off the bone – yummy!!! Needless to say, we talked and talked some more over drinks and coffee. We finally had to call it a night as it was getting late and we are going to meet them in the morning for breakfast.
So it was an emotional day filled with sadness and then laughter. We will cherish all the great memories. For all our new friends reading this blog we want to thank you again for the great time that we shared together and hope you all get home safely. Don’t forget and keep in touch. I will, once we return from Greece. Hugs and God Bless!
