Back home again--in Pizza King country

Bill Shirley and Evelyn as we are about to indulge in the wonderful pizza. It is obvious we did a good job. Even more disappeared after this photo was taken.

What a blessing! I was off on my estimated travel time again. We left in good time after breakfast and drove in slightly overcast weather for most of the morning. We drove until we got hungry and stopped at a Cracker Barrel for lunch. I rarely enjoy stopping at those for some reason. We shared a bowl of soup, and then I remembered why I avoid these places. I found Evelyn wandering around their “gift shop”, buying knick knacks for the grandchildren. We drove on through KY where I expected the telephone to change time zones. It did not. I had to change it manually. This was disappointing to me because I had gone to an ATT store in the Valley and had that done, or so I thought. We crossed into IN and saw that it had rained in that area for several days and looked like it would again. We arrived at Shelbyville, checked in for our free night (we had not paid for any night’s lodging the entire journey) and called Bill and Shirley Oefinger. They picked us up and took us to the local Pizza King. We had both looked forward to this meal all day but were disappointed. They had no Italian sausage and the crust was somewhat soggy. We enjoyed renewing our friendship with our company. We had met them years ago at the Purdue football games and had parked our motor homes together for many years until his Parkinson’s disease got worse, and we stopped buying season tickets. We went to their house and visited for a while before having them return us to the motel. It stormed through the night causing many flood watches to be issued for the area.
