Looking forward to the load of photo's after your gargantuan road trip.<br /><br />In my younger years I traveled and worked with a lady that sold fabrics, beads, patterns, etc. to art doll artisans. Her business is "Treasures of the Gypsy" (she now lives in New Mexico). We traveled from San Diego to shows in the N., S., E. & W. Our longest trip was to Silver Springs, MD. On that trip we stopped along the way and visited doll artisans. One gal I remembered was in TN her name is Akira Blount. She & her husband (photographer) created art dolls that included the flora from around their farmstead. Pamela and I had fun times on the road - we called ourselves "The Gypsy Truckers". Communication with those at home was done by email with my trusty "Pocket PC" a crud precursor of the iPad/cell phone. You'd type your email then when you located a land line you would couple the Pocket PC to the telephone, dial a 800 number and send your email. Oh, those where the days . . .

We're planning a huge bar-b-que at the lake for the 4th and it's going to be hot, hot, hot! I have never seen it so hot here, so early in the season. It's getting a bit scary. What a neat thing to get the map from AAA. I never think to do that. I know you'll have many, many photos to share with us as you travel.

Gosh, I didn't realise you had a pool too !! You have your own little paradise on your farm.

The new butterflies are beautiful as are the Cedar Waxwings, the decorations for the 4th and your Waterlogue photos. I'm so glad the boys get to witness the butterflies take flight into the wonderful world around them, and that the boys get to cool off in the pool! Rosie just got to slide down the tiny slide in the girls wading pools yesterday with her mom keeping her steady and Joy launched all by herself [again and again]. Molly just turned 6 recently asked her mom with concern, "Who is our lifeguard?" Her mom replied, Hayley is primary and I am secondary." Molly then announced, "And I am legendary!" :-)<br />I am soooo excited about your trip! You are going to get to see so much amazing territory as well as have wonderful visits with your family...and you are practically driving right through where I lived for 15 years in Missouri just south of Kansas City! I hope to see you before you go and wish you <br />Bon Voyage! xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865022255438031627.post-90683677838670209202015-06-26T14:06:52.149-07:002015-06-26T14:06:52.149-07:00Thanks again for all those lovely images!

Next week we are taking a mini break up to Coffs Harbour near Queensland (1400km north of us) and I'm looking forward to visiting the Coffs Harbour Butterfly House while we're there. We also have a lovely Butterfly House here at our own Melbourne Zoo. It's just wonderful you've raised these delicate creatures yourselves! Also beautiful photos of the Cedar Waxwing.
