So glad you got your wish, and that your sister rode with you :) Funny how our family members don't really go away, they just change form. Often find myself talking to my folks as I drive, we did a lot of road trips together. I almost never plan my trips...what if something pops up on the way that looks like a road I should take? When I had the ranch, a 5.5 hour drive usually took me at least 7...distractions...stops to make...looking at views...on and on.
I'm glad to hear you managed to see the "totality" - I was worried you wouldn't find a place to watch the event, given your last post about searching/reserving for a spot! BRAVA!
I was been born and raised in Canada, but just in time for the eclipse, I'm out of the country! I'm so envious of those who viewed it, especially with the knowledge that I could have too, but what I learned now is that, although I missed it, It is not something to sulk about.
I'll go on my own road trip sometime soon, and view the moon and sun during the different times of day and pretend its the solar eclipse, as I enjoy the journey of a lifetime.
Maura, I am envious! You have inspired me to think about a solo road trip soon, accompanied by spirits.

I remember Ellen’s smile - somehow showing that she had the inside scoop on something obvious, which we should all be delighted about. 💕

What a beautiful tribute trip for your sister, who obviously was on this earth too briefly.
Great Adventure!
