I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

Progress

 

I can’t believe it’s the 1st of August today.  Just where did July go?

I thought it was about time I began the job of completing my Road Trip journal so sorted through a few bits of ephemera, gathered my stuff and got going this morning.

I haven’t got too much still to do, but wanted to make sure I continued in the same style as I had started, so I took a look through the pages I’d completed so far.

It was a great trip and I realise I’d already forgotten quite a few of the small details which make our trips so special.

What a good job then, that I have my scribbly notebook which is a useful reminder of all those little details, like the sign outside the church in between Vicksburg and Shreveport which announced:

“7 days without God makes 1 weak”

Not to mention the slogan on the T shirt, worn by a woman at the filling station where we refuelled.

“Have you clucked and tucked today?”

Well? 

Answers in the comments, please!

I'm looking forward to reading the entire journal. Meanwhile, I'm still concerned about clucking and tucking. It sounds a bit racy.

What, in the bible belt? I think it was about putting chickens to bed at night...
