First day of journey to Texas

 Need I mention that we were on the road today?  Set up in driveway of son Cameron at Marengo, Iowa and will be here until Sunday morning.  Got some time with great granddaughter Jessica this afternoon.  First thing we took a nap.

 When she was rested she was more than happy to entertain us.

Even got some TV time in.





We drove the 240 or so miles from Clarinda east and north, never getting on Interstate.  The way I like to drive when pulling the trailer; especially when we are loaded fairly heavy, not much traffic and need not run over 55 mph.

On the way from Clarinda saw quite a few fields of corn that some combining has been done

This field had quite a bit of green to it.

some rows left

Beans being run

More "green" corn

Girls are all at a school function at the high school tonight and Cameron and I are watching the Iowa State Football game on TV.

Who's there?
Thumping!
Thumping who?
Thumping green and slimy is climbing up your back!
