Today
was an uneventful drive to Columbus, Ohio where I stayed for two nights with my
son and family. We could feel the wind moving the van around the freeway, but
the storm is coming so it is expected. It feels so good to be out of Dora and
she is delighted to have a rest. The dogs sprawled out across two couches
leaving little room for the rest of us to sit down. They loved hanging out with
the kids and were happy to get some much-needed attention from someone other
than me!
Day
13 is the night Hurricane Sandy came ashore so we watched the devastation in
both New Jersey and NYC as it developed. The temperature dropped in Columbus
and the winds kicked up but other than that, everything was normal. We did
sleep in Dora because it was easier than bringing all our belongings inside and
we do love our nest. On the morning of Day 14 when I opened the door to get out
Josh and Sunshine just happened to be waiting for the school bus and saw an
opportunity they couldn’t resist. I was hit me in the chest with a snowball -
both of them laughing uncontrollable because they got me! They love the snow
and when I explained I had ten feet at my house last winter the comment was
“lucky.” I guess it all depends on your perspective. The snow quickly melts as the storm continues to pass over.
I spent the day visiting with my son and taking their Shih Tzu to the groomer.
Apparently he has been such a terror in the past that one groomer refused to do
him again. No worries, the dog woman was able to find a groomer that actually
breeds Shih Tzus and thought that Chico was a challenge. He looks and feels
terrific after six hours at the spa.

After
the storm the media was back at the political side of things in America. So
much mud slinging and slander - who even talks about the issues anymore? It
seems like reality TV and is rated much the same – how they looked, their
voices, expressions, etc. Little emphasis is ever spent on what’s really going
on in this country. Sigh. . . The
media has so much control over how we think feel and what we think we know.
So,
we are off to bed after making a manicotti dinner for my favorite Ohio boys.
Tomorrow begins the last leg – did I really say that? – of my trip south. I
will arrive in North Carolina to the Dahl house at last! It has been one hell
of a ride south.
