Fall, that dripping predecessor to Winter, has arrived in full force here in Western Washington.
Today, whilst waiting out the rain indoors, wrapped in a blanket with cup of tea, I stumbled upon a list of uncommon English words. One of the words that caught my fancy was 'selcouth'.
"Selcouth" adj.
Definition: "Rarely known; unusual; strange; marvelous."
I think it captures the essence of life really, and the spirit of this blog. We are meant to pursue and experience the unknown, the strange, and the marvelous with open arms.
We are now 12 days away from our own undoubtedly selcouth experience, and things are starting to come together! The van has had all the necessary bits added on and is fully functional. All systems are very nearly go! There is one last repair needed to fix a leaky windshield and make sure Charlie is fully water tight. We will head to my parents' house on Thanksgiving to stuff ourselves one last time, and bid loved ones adieu, then we will be leaving first thing in the morning, towards warmer climes and great adventure.
