Six Month Anniversary !!

It's difficult to believe that I've been on-the-road for six months!! It seems like "only yesterday" that I pulled away from the apartment complex in Shelby, North Carolina. (Did I ever mention that the reason I left was because the owner repeatedly rented the adjacent apartment to a smoker? The woman that moved in--in December--reeked of smoke and I would become nauseous just being close to her. I could smell the smoke through the common wall between our apartments.)

Let me recap some of the vivid experiences of the last six months:
