leaving Rhode Island

Five Things - August 26, 2024

Welcome to my blog titled ‘Five Things’ where you can expect just that - five random musings or reflections from the previous week or so. For a photo gallery of our life on the road, our pets, and miscellaneous things I find interesting, you can also follow me on Instagram @tabithalord.

So here are this week’s five things…

  1. I can’t believe we’re wrapping up our last few days in Rhode Island! Next week, we’ll hit the road again and head to Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi to finish our tour of the eastern United States. We’ll also be stopping in South Carolina for a long weekend to visit family before starting our trek back west. Our intent is to stay at each spot for about a week so I have time for school and Ray has time to work.

  2. Yes, school is back in session this week, and I’ll admit, I’m slightly intimidated by the size of the reading list and the amount of required writing, but I do love deadlines, so I’m ready to dive in!

  3. As the summer winds down, and I have to get serious about school, I also need to get serious about my physical health. It’s great fun when life feels like a party every day, but I’m not a spring chicken anymore. I have a lot of work to do this fall and I need better sleep, so I’m implementing my plan for ‘dry September’ a week early. I’ll be the one drinking herbal tea on my Zoom meetings, LOL.

  4. Ray and I got to see Zac Brown and Kenny Chesney at Gillette Stadium this past weekend. While I am not generally a huge country fan, Zac is one of my favorites along with Chris Stapleton, who we got to see in Denver last year. Aside from expanding my musical palette so to speak, I use these country music concert opportunities to showcase my amazing collection of cowboy boots!
