On the road again

We are off. We helped with breakfast and turn-over at Stonecroft and then readied ourselves for travel. The wonderful cooks gave us food for several days to take with us. After the guests leave, the staff is served lunch consisting of left overs from other meals. What is left over from that is thrown away. There is usually quite a bit so we took some with us. We have rosemary chicken breasts, roast beef, chuckwagon corn and potato salad. We didn't get away until 2:00 but made good time to Poplar Bluff where we stayed in a Wal-Mart that had not opened yet. It had been a beautiful travel day.
We left Poplar Bluff around 8:00 and drove to Sikeston where we learned that Lambert's had changed locations. We didn't get to the new one but with all the food we have, it is just as well. We went on across both the Mississippi River and then the Ohio. Both bridges are narrow and two lane. Jesus in His mercy kept us from having to pass more than two trucks on just one of the bridges. That is a tense time for me. Motor homes are wide, and I always worry about hitting the right side of the bridge, not the trucks. Shortly after lunch it began to rain, and we seemed to be right in the core because it rained the rest of the day. We drove to Calhoun GA where we spent the night in the rain.
Thursday the weather cleared and we arose at 9:00 their time (we had changed time zones) and had a clear day of driving. We arrived at our daughter Stacy's around 11:00, took a walk (it is quite hilly here) and had lunch. Stacy and Tom were flying back from Cleveland where they had attended a memorial service for one of Tom's mentors from his youth. While we waited, we took a nap. They arrived around 2:30, and we had a nice visit with them because the kids were still in school. Olivia came home, but Peter was at a birthday party and planned to spend the night. We came to see him in a baseball game, but the prediction was for rain tomorrow. We had a nice dinner of bratwurst and potato salad (even better than that we have from Stoncroft) and salad. They have many imported beers left from an international party they hosted for Bell South employees. We will try to finish them off in the next few days.
