I try to focus on that, Robin, because life on the road really does stink. Even if the weather doesn’t turn bad, being away from home & driving so much is difficult. But, the kids make it worth it.

Being on the road alone can be really tough Shelly, I so admire you for finding the good in it (and boy that food looked good!).

I know that if those kids enjoyed your stories half as much as Itai and I did then they had a wonderful time indeed. Focus on that and the fact that you are still able to be out there following your dream, even on the tough days.

Food looks good enough to eat!

Here in the Northland, most folks carry a Winter Survival Kit in the trunk of their car. You see, getting stranded in a snowstorm is a reality more often than just not being able to find lodging for a Friday night.
The kit consists of a blanket, of course, and a shovel. The shovel can help you get unstuck, but the better purpose is to clear out the area behind the exhaust pipe so the carbon monoxide can escape if you get stuck in the snow and it keeps on snowing and covers the car and exhaust.
Also, a coffee can, the metal kind, (not the new fangled plastic Folgers “cans”), with a candle. You can light the candle in the bottom of the can and crack your car window for fresh air. It warms up the car after you run out of gas because you probably will if your sitting in it in a snow drift waiting for the plow to come along.
This is not a story, this is a way of life up here in Winter. We are told to stay with the car. A car is easier to spot than a frozen body along the side of the road. Sounds callous, I know, but things to think about “Up North”

I’m sure you do a great job telling stories, you sure do here in writing!

Peace.

I can sure see why you were overjoyed at having the chance to eat some food that looks as good as that does! Made me hungry looking at it.
Here’s hoping that providence will be with you and carry you through to a place where, lo and behold, you will find a room and NOT have to sleep in your car -even if you do have oodles and oodles of nice warm blankets there, as we age, we do need the comfort of a decent mattress and pillow beneath us, ya know!
And keep on telling all those lies, will ya!???
Peace.
