We will be checking our odometer
as we drive miles and miles on our college road trip.
One stop will be in Thomas Jefferson country
Ben Franklin wrote lists and lists;
imagine what he could do with excel spread sheets

Miss Is and d.h. have put together the lists and our itinerary.
I am simply a passenger
and occasional driver.
Libby, our dog, will be along for the ride.
A real family affair...
I still keep my 28 days list
with tasks and goals;
it is a little stale these days.
Must get back to it.
Two weeks of traveling, exploring, visiting, doing
will load me up with excitement and energy.
