Medical Update: A rather uneven day. Dorothy had a good rest overnight but persistent cough through the day. Had an episode of serious shortness of breath when we stopped for supper. The trip today took longer than we planned so we are going for a shorter day tomorrow with some extra rest.

| Ready for another day of travel - Memphis, TN |
Travel moments: We were soon out of Tennessee, crossed the Mississippi River and then across Arkansas. Before long we saw open fields, and grain trucks and it began to look like home. Then we crossed through the Ozarks and got on a lot of twisty secondary highways. Dorothy's brother Al has been calling us every day on our On Star satellite phone in the van. Yesterday he called us just as we entered Alabama. Today, we were actually reading the "Welcome to Missouri" sign when his call came through. He has a talent for catching us at the border. Carylanne also reached us in the van as they are now home from their snow boarding vacation in Utah,

Some of you have been kind enough to compliment my photos. As you can probably tell, most are simply snaps, taken from the moving van, usually through the windows. I don't have my sophisticated photo editing programs with me so all I can do is crop them up a little. I'm glad, despite this, some of you have found some of them worthwhile.
Your photo's are super great! Keeping a 'mouse' on you as your making your way home...hope things begin to improve moreso...take care, Bill and Gene Till are traveling with you also.
ReplyDeleteYour trek through the ozarks looks beautiful. The raven statue - REALLY??]
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, your photos are amazing. I'm loving seeing all the landscapes and industries you've shown. Very interesting.
