Notes from Pappy's diary

[Pappy]

Left Palm Bay about 8 this morning. Just got to Lumberton, NC and checked in motel. Not to bad for traveling today. Traffic heavy in spots.
Tomorrow we will stop in Silver Springs, MD to stay at my son’s house, then on Our new apartment in Poughkeepsie,NY. Getting anxious to see it.

Pappy, you’re making good time. Is it just you and Thelma, or someone else driving.

 

[Pappy]

My son and DIL are driving us. God bless them.

The final touches on our Florida home and loading truck, that my son in law is driving, and will get there ahead of us to set up our apartment.

You and Thelma are lucky to have such a wonderful family!

Lumberton is usually my stop on I95 going to St. Augustine, too. You must be so excited to see your new home, and I know it will be a big relief to be unpacked and able to relax again.

You are making good time! Well you might get to see some snowflakes in the air.

Your kids are really taking good care of you and Thelma.

Can't wait to hear about your trip and new place! I assume getting settled in will take a bit of time. And getting your internet hooked up.

Welcome Back.............

Thinking of you both @Pappy.

I hope you arrived safely if you're there yet, I hope it went well. Was everything to your liking? It's a big change for you both but you're near your family where you'll feel good. I wish you every happiness and I'd love to see a few pictures of you guys in your new place if you feel like doing that.

Congratulations on coming back to Yankee land.

Poughkeepsie is only 85 miles from me but that's quite a drive even so, I hope you have good weather. Pappy it snowed here in Connecticut this morning. Just a little.

My best wishes for your happy life in your new place.

 

[Pinky]

I hope you are almost done setting up your new place @Pappy
Make sure not to do too much, all at once .. take lots of breaks

 

[Paco Dennis]

Pappy, I am excited for you and Thelma!

 

[SeaBreeze]

Pappy, I'm glad your son is setting up your apartment ahead of time. I hope all is well with you and your wife, that's a big trip you may need time to rest before getting back on the computer. Sending hugs to you both.

 

[smiley]

probably time for a quick holiday somewhere quiet and peaceful after all that excitement??

 

[Kaila]

We've all been thinking of you both, @Pappy

Take good care and rest a lot now!

 

[Pappy]

Almost back to normal now. Still a few boxes to sort through but there is no rush on those. Ive posted a few photos of our place if you are interested. Spent last two days getting VA and doctors for my wife sorted out. Jeez, no one makes it easy for sure.

 

[Aunt Bea]

Pappy,

I hope that you and Thelma can still venture out for the essentials like coffee and ice cream!

How is the traffic around your new home?

Are you still close to the basic stores and services that you need on a regular basis?

Aunt Bea. Yes, DD and Dollar General just a couple miles up the road. Traffic is light as we are out away from the main town. Most stores are fairly close although we use Amazon for most items. VA is a little drive, depending if I’m going to clinic or hospital. Clinic is much closer.

Thanks for the pics @Pappy . The place looks nice. I love your bedding and your shower curtain; it seems so cozy in there. I hope you'll be happy and you're near stores, so that will be convenient for you. Best of luck and blessings in your new home.
