See ya on the road!

I'm afraid our road trip won't be quite as glamorous as this picture. We won't be in the convertible, we'll be in the truck; I won't be wearing a cute little sundress, I'll be wearing comfy clothes and my barn coat; and it's not going to be a balmy, sunny, summer day...it's November in the Midwest!

Still, road trips are always fun, and who knows what we'll see along the way? There are always lunches to be had at little diners or small cafes, there are always people to meet along the way, and it's always great to get a chance to see some of our beautiful Midwestern countryside.

We're off to Missouri tomorrow morning to spend a few days with Ken's Mom and stepdad. We always have a good time with them, and I know she's excited to have us come down. We're looking forward to seeing them and having a nice visit! We're taking one of the laptops, and Ken has already scoped out a Starbuck's near their place that has wifi. (It's no 7th and Montana, Marty, but it'll do!) I can't promise daily updates, and I hope you'll forgive me for not commenting much for the next few days, but I'll do my best to keep up.

Meanwhile, back at Nutwood, Cousin Shane will be taking good care of Sheeba, and giving him lots of love in our absence.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving, filled with fun and fellowship!

Late news update: Ball State Cardinals go 12-0! Yahooooo! I give thanks!

  8. Being so far from our families (they have all settled in Phoenix, Las Vegas, or Colorado Springs) we don't travel on Thanksgiving. But this year we have the new addition of having a "boyfriend" joining us. December we'll do our road trip to Arizona.. thankfully on I10 where very little if ANY snow will be seen. Have a safe trip!
