SUNDAY--No more fever! Jude's out of bed and dressed! What more do you want?

Gee, but it's great to be back home.
Home is where I want to be.

The Birth of the Adventure Crew
Several years ago (about 7 or so), Jude and the Baby-nots set out on a trip to visit Granny. The Baby-nots convinced Jude to stop at a WalMart somewhere in Nevada. Since Jude HATES stores and shopping, she stayed in the car while the Baby-nots went inside to get broke.

While watching the sunset she had an epiphany. Where ever she was, she was home.

Suddenly the trip wasn't about leaving SacTown and arriving at Granny's (or fill in the blanks for any other locations) Where ever Jude was, she was already home. So right there, right then, Jude was already home with no rush to get to or from anywhere. The world changed for her.

Jude and the Baby-nots had their visit with Granny, then took off on an adventure. Vernal Utah, Dinosaur National Monument, Rosie's Cabin, across part of Colorado, back through Wyoming, along the Green River. The Baby-nots became proficient at finding petrogliphs.

They slept in the car, ate out of grocery stores (cooler in trunk), and were as free as the wind. Robin Baby-not and Jude LOVED it; Heather Baby-not HATED it--but she did survive.

From then on Jude was good-to-go with no notice. Eventually she met and fell in love with The Nomad, the remainder of the Crew signed on, and the rest is wandering history.
