Wow, being away from the computer and limited phone has put me waaaay behind on catching up with everyone here. I've been reading posts like a mad thing and I still don't think I've caught up with everything.
I got home from the rest of our trip yesterday afternoon and spent most of the rest of the day emptying out TC and putting stuff away. Today's laundry day and still finding things to get put away or back into TC for my next trip.
After leaving the gals in KS
Carrie and I headed down to Branson for a few days. We had a pretty good time there, saw a show, went spelunking!, and shopped til we about dropped. Fun time and we plan on going back again someday. Left there on Thursday, headed homeward and stopped off at Lincoln's New Salem State Park for 2 nights. Nice little park, we thought, until it started to fill up with locals who apparently have lost all common courtesy. We were parked by a couple of older gentlemen who thought that if they were up and at 'em, everybody should be--before 6 am, no less! Needless to say we got an extra early start on the drive home. We also included stops at Funk's Grove for maple sirup (yes, they spell it with an "i") and our ritual stop at the Russell Stover store in Lincoln, IL where we stocked up on candy for ourselves and for gifts! (you can't have too much chocolate! lol)
My dog Buddy has been glued to my side since I got home-do you think he missed me? He even tries to go out the door every time I do especially if I'm working in TC and he jumps in with me while I'm in there. Guess he wanted to go too! Maybe next trip if we aren't sightseeing, I'll bring him along, then we'll still be outnumbered by dogs at the gtg. I think Catherine said with the addition of Carrie and I we were even in numbers.
We had a great time meeting all the ax murderers
(oops I mean ladies)
in KS, and I would love to go back again. Even if my GPS lies!
Stay safe if you're on the road and take care

Any day spent in the company of my animals is a good day.
