... I must correct you and still say THEY WERE DEAD!!! So, all of Illinois is cornfield. Even more so than Ohio. When we pulled into the gas station, surrounded by cornfields, I walked up to within 3 feet of one and had my electrician take my photo.

They the day ended with some stunningly beautiful sunsets on the flat lands of IL. The spectrum of colors was gorgeous.

What an odd day!

Halloween in Macon, GA is next...

The flight got into BMI about 9:00 p.m. Grabbed my luggage after a short wait and then got onto the shuttle to go to my car.

I met a couple who sailed the same week but on a Norweigan ship. They were suppose to go to Sitka Alaska as one of their ports but ended up in Glacier Bay and Tracey Arm instead. Their captain said that on the way to ...

... Hauck was great. Both grandmothers sang in the choir with Ati and Luke and aunt Julie was elevated into beaming Godmotherhood. We then celebrated at home with the pastor and his wife.

The rest of the week was spent with daily strolls and bike trips through town, swimming, jogging, playing golf (and not too bad, either, to my utter surprise). This interspersed with lounging in the garden and ...

... and get out of it since she a note from the doctor for medical reasons. It's not as big of a deal for me because I have all carry-on. But she could be checking baggage in all over again.

I'll maybe check back in when I get to Atlanta if I have time with all the rechecking back in and if I feel I want to pay what they charge for wi-fi.

Tomorrow at approximately noon US central time, I will fly from Bloomington, IL to Atanta where I will meet my Mother, who will arrive about an hour after me on a flight from where city of residence in Jacksonville, FL. I don't think I can add her flight to the ...

....had a dry run on actually attempting to close it. Don't worry, all safety precautions were observed and no small animals, small children, big children, small adults, really large imaginary animals, or ears of corn from the farmlands across the street were harmed during the performance of this test. It closed the first time! All systems go for carry-on only!

First of all, this is a really confusing and frustrating site to use. I was trying to link this entry to a photo I uploaded. I somehow left this in draft mode. I may just go to a regular blog site. I'm busy getting ready for the actual trip. I don't have time to figure out where everything is on this site. The only difference I ...

... for heaven’s sake!

The next morning we started hooking up to leave and the adventures began. I went out and came back in and left the sliding panel on the screen door open and Seamus took the chance to take off. He will jump out that small opening any chance he gets and I’d caught him by his tail just the day before as he tried it so I knew he was getting stir crazy and would try it. But one second of carelessness and he ...

... Vegas experience I thought we'd have but it was nice to get away. Having the rental car was a nice treat as it allowed us so much freedom. It's something I'll consider doing again especially if I can borrow Patty's Garmin. At home, Gus doesn't appear to be very happy with me as he won't come near me but Isabel desperately wants my attention.

Okay my sister will just explode laughing at this but she knows I'm directionally (is this a word?) challenged. Woke up on time, got ready on time and left home on time. Get to the Bloomington airport and miss the long term parking exit. Have to go around the airport for another try. On the way ...
