We drove a lot the first day. We were going to stay in Rochelle Il but there was too much snow and I couldn't do it. We got there at 4:30pm and Bob picked us up in his new van, and took us to their house. Geri made dinner, pot roast, cauliflower and either sour cream raisen (Jim's favorite) pie. Or coffee cake. What a treat, wonderful people. Their daughters Carrie and Holly are both nurses, an RN and a LPN. Both Bob and Geri are retired. We had a nice visit and by 8pm we were back on the road until 10:30pm when we hit Effingham. We stayed at Camp Lakewood and we were in bed by 11:30pm. You would not believe how cold the sheets were. We think the memory was still frozen.
Jim called his friend Norm in Charleston, 28 miles away and he picked Jim up for coffee ear 6:30. I took the dogs for a walk and was in heaven. No snow. Did I say that earlier. I'm sorry but I am so delighted, no snow. Dogs love it.
I started to read a book by Dr. Mary Neal. A true account of her life and death and life again experience. Joyce Brown or rowed me the book and I just never got around to it.
We left Effingham and are on our way to Mamphis. We are both tired SOS who knows how far we will get.
