With the doctor’s approval regarding John’s health, we are headed to Florida. Our 22nd anniversary was yesterday but we were busy packing, so our celebration will wait.

Tonight we’ll over-night in Lexington, KY. Normally we stay at the same Red Roof Inns every time we make this trip, and the first night is usually London, KY. But we revised our schedule so today won’t be quite as long. Lexington is still a good piece from Michigan but about 90 miles closer. We’re supposed to stop frequently so John can stretch his legs (to avoid clotting). We’ll soon be at Beverdam, Ohio, where we’ll have lunch, walk the dog, and stretch.

Unfortunately John won’t be able to “soak” in the pool for a few weeks. He can dip himself to cool off, but until he’s better healed, the doctor suggested that he avoid the soaks.

Ohio is greener than previous trips. I know they’ve had a lot of rain which has even resulted in flooding in some of the area.

Traffic is kinda heavy for to Tuesday, but the truckers travel this route every day.

When we get to Florida, I want to plan a party for Mom’s birthday Monday, the 17th. I also have some banking to take care of for her, and some shopping to do. But this trip is going to be laid back and lazy. ‘ Least that’s the plan.
