Unexpected Trip

Sometimes at the end of August of this year we began to think more seriously about what our future might look like. We had some plans but nothing permanent. We were hoping to adopt once more but that became a difficult situation at the time. We had more visions but nothing was quite right. We also wanted to help the four children we already had so our minds were all over the place on how to do that. Besides where we lived had become so unstable, dangerous even. We did not feel as comfortable in our home and our community as we once did.

Somewhere along the way my ex-boss said to me why don't you look in New Brunswick because she was moving there. I kind of laughed at it, thinking wow that's far. Though through the years working so closely with many people across Canada I heard a lot about the West and the East coasts and it seemed the East Coast had it good. So I thought why not, what can it hurt, right?

We looked at many homes for sale on the Net and came up with three that perhaps fit our needs, a large home with a bit of land so we can breathe at last. Next thing we know we're off to New Brunswick on a whim to see these three homes, not really thinking that anything was going to come of it.

We drove a few hours toward Napanee where we've been a time or two in the past but we had quite a few hours to go as it takes about 12 or 13 hours to get to New Brunswick. The evening sky and sun were incredible.

We were travelling towards Quebec where we would eventually cross the border into USA to cut on some time. We overnighted aat a hotel in Sherbrooke and then continued on to cross into Maine. Next morning the sky was overcast and a thick fog covered the highway.
