on the road.......

ok, so we arrived in cleveland at 9:00 pm, at my aunt's home...surprised that they waited supper..............we sat down to all of my favorites....lima beans, mashed potatoes, sliced homegrown tomatoes, and baked chicken.............and a cold beer..............the drive was absolutely flat after we left kentucky.........the route following the glacier line............so sad when we passed my old hometown's exit north of columbus......nobody i am related to lives there anymore................we were reminded immediately of all that my mother's sister has in common with my own madre...............there is much conversation, and very little need for any words on our part...............my aunt can talk without drawing breath on a variety of topics.................and that is ok, because my aunt and uncle were completely informed (and up-to-date....) on my every move of the past..............day,week,month......because my mom and my aunt talk frequently..............today we set off for upstate ny.....within spitting distance of the vermont/mass corner...........with niagra falls on the way.................for the record.....we may visit a few schools while in the vicinity...williams........maybe darmouth, middlebury (again) and potentially cornell on the way home...................so no decision has been made....and that is ok.........
