Postscript

Hello, everyone.


I decided you all deserve an update on our plans.
 
First off, everything happened so much faster than we anticipated.  I had thought we would be here through the summer, but we sold our house two days after we returned from our trip around the states, then had to pack, weed, clean, sign papers, cancel utilities, ship the car to my sister in California, have a moving sale, etc.  The people that bought our house moved into it July 1, so we have been living in our RV ever since.

Meanwhile the previous owners of our house in California were renting it back from us, but they found and closed on a house much sooner than we thought they would, and are moving out August 1.  Since we don’t want to leave the house empty too long, we will be heading back after a detour through Maine.  I haven’t had time to do everything I wanted to do, or see all the people I wanted to see, which saddens me.  I am sorry I wasn't able to find the time.
 
Lee and I do hope to return from time to time.  Philadelphia has been such a big part of our lives I cannot imagine not coming back to see dear friends and places full of happy memories.  (Never in January or February, however - too cold!)

I have decided not to write a blog this time around, but please feel free to contact me at any time:   e.mathias@verizon.net ; or Lee at lee.mathias@verizon.net

I have opened the travel blog of our year-long trip to the public, so feel free to direct people to it, at

Thank you, all!
