Still on the road

We have gone by places where hardly anyone wears a mask and places where just about everyone is.  Sometimes I question my sanity at going on this trip.  The three of us in the bubble of our vehicle press forward enjoying each others company, listening to music and podcasts.   Outside the bubble we do our best to keep our distance, stay safe, wash our hands and wear a mask.  Tomorrow we will arrive at our destinations.   Our social distance group will expand.  We will leave our protective bubble.

Tonight as C drives and sings with E and my eyelids start to droop I know this is where I am supposed to be.  In these trying times I still want to be the helper.  So far that help is being an extra driver so they could get back faster.  I can't help the masses, but I can be useful with my family.

My happy things for today are:

• Getting a good night's rest at E's parents home.
• Having a healthy breakfast before we got on the road.
• Hearing stories about E's college town as we passed by. 
• Driving through the mountains in Maryland and West Virginia.
• The flat rocks in Kentucky.
• Wispy fog.
• Farms. 
• The  closed sign.
• Rocks. 
• Singing.

Keep your distance.
