YES!!!! We are finally back home.
Linda and I both grew up in the South Bend Indiana/Niles Michigan area and after a year we are back. We left Tunica yesterday after saying Good by to Leroy and Rose
We always enjoy being with them and are looking forward to seeing them again later this summer…..of course it will have to be at a casino, as Leroy is a big time gambler.
There was lots of water in the fields and streams and rivers and I am sure that the farmers have lost some of their crops already.
Yesterday I had a hard time driving. I stayed up late on Monday and had way to may “jack on the rocks” and beers at the casino. So after only about 270 miles we had to stop for the night as I was afraid that my lack of concentration on the road would cause problems. So today we had to do about 340 miles. When we finally hooked up with interstate 80 in Illinois, I gave out a great big “yehhhhhhhhhhh”
I was back in my element. Lots of traffic and trucks. OH BOY is it exciting to be going down the interstate with trucks everywhere…..I love it!!!!
And they are moving along at 65-70mph, which makes it even more exciting……..o.k. I am a little strange there……5 lanes of traffic and two, and sometimes three of them are trucks.
The downside is that when we got on the Indiana toll road, the place where we normally dump our holding tanks was closed…That means we have to go to a campground about 10 miles from my brother’s driveway to dump before we head back to Illinois, and coming back to Indiana we have to stop at the campground again before we come to my brothers.
Speaking of which, here a couple of pictures of my brother, sister in law Peg and nephew Randall.
Peg does not like the flash of the camera, but I thought that that picture of my brother was better….sorry Peg.
Will Post a picture of us in my brothers yard later. In order to get into my brother’s driveway I have to come off of the highway, turn into the driveway at the Bank on the corner, than back out of the driveway to turn the rig around and than back about a quarter mile down a residential street and make a 90 degree turn into his driveway. We will be here until Memorial day, than head to Woodstock Illinois to see our son, daughter in law and two grandsons.
Have a great day
and……………you do know that we love you all.
Jim and LInda

ReplyDeleteGlad you guys made it "home" ok. We don't have any internet service at our campsite, but can "Skype" you from South Fork Campground when I come to visit Rich and Terri to use the laundromat. Still cold here...mornings in the 20s. Miss you so much.
