I broke my trip down to 2 days of travel. I left the Easter dinner around 3 p.m. and drove to Litchfield Illinois to spend the night. This is the first time I stayed there on the way home, but I’m no stranger to Litchfield. It’s just under 300 miles.<\/p>\n
4:30 found me on the road again and it was nice making it through St. Louis before rush hour. With all their continuing construction, rush hour can be hell.<\/p>\n
Just outside of St. Louis, it started raining and I drove through varying stages of rain for the next 5 or 6 hours. I did not enjoy that, but my Jeep is now almost bug free. I finally broke out of the rain after passing through OKC. I was rain free until I was almost home and then I drove through light showers.<\/p>\n
All in all it was a fairly pleasant trip home.<\/p>\n
I stayed at Casa de Beppe, my favorite lodging facility when traveling to Illinois. Mom and I played many games of Scrabble and Mom even won a game. Sorry Mom, in July I’m sure you’ll be back on your game.<\/p>\n
While in the Chicago area, I stopped and visited Archie and spent an hour chatting with her. She always seems to come up with another Marylou or A & S story that I can bring home to Nina. It was a nice visit and I always enjoy visiting with you Archie.<\/p>\n
I also went to an Easter egg hunt at Kleyweg’s daughter’s house and saw Fat Ass and Johnson. I found out that both Don and I are fluent in signing. We held a very animated conversation just using our hands and fingers. I’m glad you finally learned a new skill Don. Of the 3 of us, Ed looks the oldest, like real old. I mean liver spot old. I also saw many of Susie’s family members, and Sue too.<\/p>\n
Mom and I went to visit Mrs. Johnson while we were out and about too. She looks great. I’m guessing Ed took after Mr. J rather than Mrs. J. Or maybe not, last time I saw him, he looked pretty darn good too. We spent an hour with her and Mom and Mrs. J seemed to enjoy chatting together. I was just happy they didn’t start comparing “Glen Notes” in front of me.<\/p>\n
Saturday night was dinner with Nan. We had a nice evening together and even went for a short ride in the Jeep. She was surprised how comfortable it was.<\/p>\n
Happy earth day to all you hippies that read this blog. To celebrate I may bury some mercury.<\/p>\n
I just saw a commercial for Lithia Chrysler Dodge and Jeep and I have to tell you, their commercials make me think of moving to Ford or GM.<\/p>\n
Erin seems to have missed me while I was gone. She spent the night and she was always in contact with me during the night. Tonight she goes with Tori. She’s getting so big, to big to share our bed. So tall, so pretty.<\/p>\n
