Do yourself a favour and take the Reeboks along. Take them for Justin. Justin Case is a freeloader that causes trouble if you fail to pack stuff for him. As a Scouter I have had run ins with Justin too many times to count. Be prepared.

I don't think I will have room....carry on luggage only.

I am going to wear my modified sandals between now and then, to see how they do.

I could just slip the levelers into my luggage.....they won't take up any space at all.

Take the orthotics then, and if needed you can always buy a pair of shoes over there.

Somewhere, Doug is smiling.....I washed the Interstate by hand this morning.

Really, the only way to get all the bug bits off.....some from Michigan, and some still left from the New Mexico trip.

Historic Route 66, in Illinois

Maggie, last week I was on Route 66, Wilmington, Pontiac, Normal, Gardner, Dwight, Odell, Funks Grove, McLean, and Atlanta thought of you as I was grabbing photos and such.

Photos are here, if you are interested:

Maggie, did you ever see the film, Shirley Valentine? Your situation is quite different from Shirley's, but any woman going to Greece should see this slightly raunchy laughfest.....

Sorry I missed you, Tommie. Hope you were able to stay cool in our Midwest heat and humidity.

I have touched on parts of old 66, here and there, and have been thinking about taking it west at some point.

I remember as a child driving 51 south....I think.....on the annual trip to visit my grandparents in Mississippi.

You miss so much traveling the major highways....small town America is where we came from.

Wow!.....great reviews for Shirley Valentine! I will definitely have to watch it.

A bit raunchy is okay with me.....I have been known to be a bit raunchy, myself, especially after a glass of wine...or two...and when in the company of equally raunchy companions.....you know who you are, and no more drinking around you.


Took the Interstate into Peterbilt this am for oil and filters change....they called to tell me the air filter is full of sand and leaves, imagine that, and it was just changed in the spring. That would be those beautiful, Lake Superior campgrounds.

They do such a good job there, and I always feel better once they have given things a good looking over. I am covered for my trip to the Amanas this week, and then should be good til next spring.


I discovered that I can take crochet hooks on an airplane.....and there are yarn stores in Athens. Crochet and knitting are apparently very popular there, and I will be able to take a small something on the plane to work on during the trip. . Yeaaayy!

I am so addicted to crochet, my hands just want to crochet any time I am sitting. I'm a happy girl.


Dropped my gently used work bags off this morning, and taking Doug's things in to the men's counterpart this afternoon. .

He's not coming back, you know. .

ooooo.......lots of Shirley fans here.

We should organize a westcoast Shirley Valentine Rally. Greek potlucks, a glass of raunchy wine by the sea, a Shirley Valentine outdoor movie night......and the menfolk can stay home and cook their own stinkin' steak 'n chips.

Maggie, you'll have to get that Intestate headed west too!

Let's do it!!

I am hoping to get all the way to the west coast next year....before or after Ray Eklund & Co. in Wyoming mid-August.

Am intending to meet Gall, and hopefully take kingfisher up on his invite to their new island home.

Would love to meet you, FaN.

Okay, FaN, I'll be counting on it.

We'll see who else we can round up.

I rather like the idea of late August/early September, after Wyoming, as the heat will not be as extreme.

But....it's a year away, so who knows what can happen between now and then.

It was 75 degrees and about that much humidity here at 5am this morning. Absolutely pouring rain at this time, after a lengthy dry spell....after which it is supposed to cool off.

I'm ready.


Maggie

I have done more running today than I usually do in a week, but donations have been made, the Interstate has been serviced and is charging up in front of the house, and volunteer connections have been made.

The Pastor who took delivery of Doug's things this afternoon was absolutely delighted with the half dozen pairs of "wash pants", a couple of pairs of good jeans, some nice shirts, and a sports jacket.....along with Doug's weathered but still good....zippered padfolio and badge case from his investigator days.

The Pastor walked me to the car, held my hand, and prayed for me. I told him I was carried home and thru the worst time in my life by the prayers and support of others, and he was thankful in his prayer for all the good people in the world. Yes, indeed.

He seems a man who is what he says he believes in, and that is always good to see....as that is not always the case, as we all know.

I have new places to direct some time, emotional energy and investment, and for that I am grateful.


Maggie
