One of the things our instructors drilled into us in
Bootcamp (get it – drill instructors –
boot camp?) was that no matter what, we had to keep ourselves safe. Road rage, bad traffic, bad turns – do whatever
keeps us safe. So when last night’s
thunder storms threatened to continue with high winds and hail today, moving in
the same general direction as we planned, we opted to spend another night here,
giving us a free, uncommitted, non-travel day.
The cats love these days, and I have to admit, I like them a lot
also. How often to you find yourself
with a day and no obligations?

So how did we spend it?
First, a hearty breakfast.
Something I haven’t done on the trip because we’re either getting ready
to tour or travel. Bacon, softly
scrambled eggs and whole wheat toast.
Yum, and enough bacon left over for BLTs before too long.

We have a good WiFi connection so I
downloaded 3 more books to my Nook from the Kenosha Public Library.j I love our library, and the Nook especially when traveling. Then a drive through the countryside and
nearby town ending up at WalMart. Yes, I
know…not my favorite place either but there aren’t that many options here in
the small towns for milk, work gloves and magnesium supplements. WalMart fits the bill. Then back home here to Chuck for a dinner –
Yucatan Mexican Pork casserole constructed from the freezer, pantry and my
imagination. The storms are rolling in
again now. Hope dinner is good.

Tomorrow to Iowa City and dinner with a long-time greyhound
friend (and birthday twin) and her husband, then on home Monday – probably. Then again, who knows?
Leftover bacon? Never heard of such a thing. Have fun in Iowa City. I had friends that went to school there, spent many a fun weekend browsing it's pubs.
ReplyDeleteOne of the highpoints of each of my days, stuck on the couch, is reading your blog. What am I going to do when your home?
The only reason there's any leftover bacon is because she cooks a pound at a time, and won't let me have thirds.
ReplyDeleteWhat DID you do to your left foot??
Had a left foot "Haglunds resection and achilles tendon repair" last Tuesday. 4-6 weeks in a cast, non weightbearing and then time in a boot with Physical therapy. Hopefully back to work in about 10 weeks. Way too much couch time for my tastes. I've been rotating computer time, reading time, tv times through the day. I going to see if I can find the end of the interent.
DeleteGive my regards to IC too and continue on your safe journey home. I assume the rig has a lightning rod of some sort.

Lightening is Sparky's job. She's the tallest. Sunshine this morning for our final leg home.
