It has been a busy week. Monday we finished doing the laundry, putting stuff away, going through the mail, and paying bills. I hate paying bills.Tuesday I went off to the Dr’s to see my blood test results; everything looks great. With clothes and shoes on, and breakfast in my fat belly I […]
Friday night, after driving another 700 miles — that’s 1700 miles in two days — we arrived home.
Home Sweet Home.
But wait, what is that dirt pile in the yard? Pat started digging the foundation for his woodworking shop–a 32×42′ space–built forms for the cement but then 4-1/2″ of rain fell. Hopefully things will […]
Today we drove, or should I say I drove, from the Western edge of South Dakota, through SD…..
through Iowa …….
through most of Illinois……

Okay, so we are all ready to get home. He was right since […]

We left home this morning at 4:30am, and just a little over 12 hrs later arrived at our hotel in IN. The boys and I had just enough room in our car for all the ’stuff”. Our trip was uneventful, except for when an 18-wheeler traveling next to us blew out a tire. […]
