Today’s 6.5 hour trip, from upstate NY to western MA, took us through two beautiful mountain ranges: the Adirondacks and the Berkshires. Spring has come to the northeast, and vibrant green is the color.

Again, we were blessed with gorgeous sunny weather and perfect driving conditions. That’s seven days running. It’s a miracle.

Timi and especially Clyde were really sick of the routine by Day 7.

I was so happy to be able to treat them to HOME at the end.


We got out of the car and Timi kept running back and forth, inside and out, expressing his glee. Clyde played it a little cooler, but made a point of visiting all his favorite spots in the house. Just checking. Cat box, check. Food dish, check. Mom’s bed, check. All is in order …and Glad that’s over, he clearly was thinking. It’s about time!

The crone agrees. That was a looong trip!
I want to express my deepest gratitude to the long distance OBC support crew, beginning with my sister Katie 💞, dear friends Lee Andra, Emily, Laurie, and Jill, and sons Jordan & Zacharie. Your frequent calls and texts helped me to stay motivated, sane, and feeling loved on this extended, sometimes challenging trek. Your presence meant so much to me, I can’t thank you adequately. We made it!

And to all my readers, thank you for being here. You were an important part of this journey, and I appreciate you so much! ♥️
Until next time, may you be happy, healthy and free. Peace out. 🦉OBC🌵

Glad you made it!
Thank you, friend. It was a great trip… and good to be off the road, home safe. ♥️
