November 25--Settled in Ohio

By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination.  --Christopher Columbus

    I made the 600-mile drive yesterday in 10 hours flat. I really did not speed that much. It was foggy for a few hours, then I finally got to see the sun. I was able to unload, unpack and settle in before my niece returned home from school. The big event I joyfully anticipated finally happened--I surprised my niece with the painting I had done for the bedroom I use at her house. She loves it! I told her it would have been OK if she didn't like it--that I would just take it back home and enjoy it myself. Now I have another project while I'm here--to hang it above the bed. 

    Already a great trip!!
