DAY 11: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2019: BIG DAY OF TRANSFER

Today, I awoke at 6:00 to run before Tom and I traveled to Green Cove Springs to change our address. We will leave our address behind but not our house.  It’s a strange feeling. My PS 66 will be given to Maddy, her Sullivan Grandpa‘s initials, and I’ll get some crazy a—— number that means nothing. You now how we Rhode Islanders are about our license plates. I ran in the dark. I’m happy the Rv Park is gated with a guard at the Gate. But, I had an eye open for critters! Lol!

On our way on Route 17, I was freaked by a young man on the side of us driving a Volkswagon Passat with no hands on the steering wheel and both on the cellphone, 2 Hand texting. Tom Said it was one of those cars that drive themselves! Ahhhh. He wasn’t even looking as a car pulled into the lane before him. I don’t think I like that very much. I wouldn’t want him behind me or near me. 

Last night we spoke to Maddy after celebrating with her cake. She enjoyed the gifts we sent from New Oleans.

We completed our paperwork and appointment in Green Cove Springs.  We are now Florida residents and voters. I don’t know if I am happy about this or not, but it’s done. The registry lets you smile unlike in RI. The whole process took less than an hour and a half. We would still be there if this was RI. 

Today we are going on a boat ride with John and Pam, then to their home for dinner. We have been looking forward to seeing them again before we leave for the Keys.

At 2:30 we left for John and Pam’s. We enjoyed a boat ride in their lagoon just outside the ICW . Beautiful, relaxing. It was great being on the water again. We truly enjoyed spending time with them this week. An added treat for being in Jacksonville.
