on the road again

We got on the r oad about 8 sunday am. Drove all day,chasing the rain clouds all the way. But never quit catching them. After dark we started seeing the lake effects of fog, and patchy misty conditions. and at midnite, we decided we had 2 hrs to go, so we stopped at Benton Harbor, in a dark parking lot. Remembering their time was now 1am, I changed my watch to the correct time, and closed my eyes. Just then the rain started. Nice to go to sleep listening to the rain.
Yesterday we drove thru Des Moines to see Gary's 90 yr old Aunt. She said she doesn't drive anymore, so after church she is always home. Wel, guess what. She wasn't home yesterday at 3pm. So we left a note, to let her know we tried, but still haven't had a call from her.
Man, some of the roads in Iowa, and Illinois, and Indianna we so terribly rough. Lots and lots of fields of corn, and soy beans. Probably will really change in 4 weeks before our return trip, after they harvest their fields.
Woke up to light rain, and car horns honking as the workers for the law firm locked their cars to go to work. It was 7 am so time to hit the road, and finish the trip. Arrived at 10 am. Mandi had said to call when we were getting close this afternoon, and they were really surpised we arrived so early. I had just dug out the phone to call her, when Gary said never mind, they see us already. When I looked up, the kids were all bouncing in the front window. Its so good to see, hold, and interact with all of them again. The kids are stuck like glue. I had to beg for them to get off of me, so I can finish this blog. They were really hindering my typing, and I don't need any help with my mis-typings. But I am loving it! :)
Mandi and I are taking Sadie (3yr) with us, and we are going to get milk at the farm. The other 3 will be staying to keep grandpa out of trouble. hahaha
Wonder how church went today? Can't take the sound tech out of the boy. Wonder how the choir did with my favorite song today? I hummed or sang my way up here, with the radio, and am kinda horse now.
More later on..... Its still sprinkling and misty.... at 70 + degrees.
Luv BJ & Gary
