Fancy Flowers

“The Second Westward Movement”

Fancy Flowers

Time is running out to decide what to take and what to leave.  I told Jason that if I can't take my cookware, I was not going. Of course I understand that we can't take everything but we will work together to make those decisions.  The hardest thing I will have to do is to say goodbye to my family and friend.  Since I have never traveled more than fifteen miles in my short lifetime, it will be hard.  I live my husband and children and want the best for them.

Little Corn doesn't understand what all the fuss is all about.  He only cares about the two small wooden toys that his grand pappy give him.  Every day we add something to the travel list, he carries his little blanket and puts it in the wagon.  I think he will be ok but I worry about him growing up in a strange new land.  
Sawyer is ready for the adventure and is looking forward to new experiences.  I think his positive feelings will get us all through the next six months.  All I know is this, we will travel as a family and face all the hardships together.
