Friday, April 5...Home (October)


On the road by 9:30 a.m. heading to Ludington to have lunch with my mom.  Cruising into Michigan by 11 a.m.  Yay!👍
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
   Oops!  Not so fast...when we passed through Holland, Kim wondered if I wanted to stop and see Aunt Butch.  She’s his dad’s oldest sister, lives less than a mile from the highway, and Kim always wants to stop when he’s in the area.  So we did.  Spent about an hour with her and it was good to see that’s she just as feisty as ever.  And it’s probably more fun because she’s feisty at 95.  Ninety-five!  She doesn’t hear everything and is a little shorter but not much else has changed.  Same house, same hospitality, same explosive laugh.  Our lunch date now became a late lunch date but I called my mom and it was no problem.  I’m glad so we stopped to see Aunt Butch...Kim had a smile on his face the entire time. 😃
--------------------
   I checked on Jack’s walk across the country and it’s the last time it will be recorded in the journal.  I intend to keep checking in on him.  I feel involved somehow. 
   It’s hard to know where he’s heading because his Live Track shows his actual route is different than his stated planned route. Must assume that he knows what he’s doing...100 days or less is his goal not mine.  Anyway, he’s heading towards Carlsbad, NM.  AND on April 4th, he recorded his 2 millionth stop.  2,000,000 steps!!!  He‘s been taking a picture every day of the stats on Fitbit and posting it to his blog.  I think Fitbit owes him a sponsorship or something.  That’s a lot of publicity right there.
-------------------- 
   Good to get home.  Enjoyed my month away but it’s time to get back to my life.  Looking forward to continuing my walking, also.

Drove about 370 miles today to get home!
