Day 4 on our trek to Texas

68º here in Cape Girardeau, Missouri at Cape Camping RV.
Into Missouri

We left Marengo, IA about 8 am on Sunday morning and drove the 397 miles to this RV park near my brother's place here in Cape.

Into the rocks south of St. Louis



Was greeted by this gorilla at a fireworks place!


At a rest stop in Missouri - note the grill by the semi-truck 
Emmy and Grandma Patty watching Jessica try out her
new rocking chair.

On Saturday Granddaughter Emmy drove up from Kirksville, MO to visit for the weekend.
Time for a smooch

Sitting pretty in the new rocking chair

Cam showed me his extensive stamp collection.

Phyllis and Patty, fixing pancakes and eggs for supper Saturday

Trying to get Jessica sleepy late Saturday evening while
her folks were at a movie.  Grandma was getting sleepy, but not Jessica.
Set up here by 5:30 pm last night and had time to loaf about.  This morning taking advantage of the shower house near our trailer, and catching up on the internet stuff.  To be at brother Don's place at 11 am and will spend rest of day with them.

GROANER’S CORNER:((  You might be a redneck if.…….
Exxon and Conoco have offered you royalties for your hair.
Your dad is also your favorite uncle.
Your classes at school were cancelled because the path to the restroom was flooded.
During your senior year you and your mother had homeroom together.
You're a lite beer drinker, because you start drinking when it gets light.
On your first date you had to ask your Dad to borrow the keys to the tractor.
Your parakeet knows the phrase "Open up, Police!"
You saved lots of money on your honeymoon by going deer hunting.
In tough situations you ask yourself, "What would Curly do?"
Taking your wife on a cruise means circling the Dairy Queen.

A man was annoyed when his wife told him that a car had backed into her, damaging a fender, and that she hadn't gotten the license number. "What kind of car was he driving?" the husband asked.
"I don't know," she said. "I never can tell one car from another."  At that, the man decided the time had come for a learning course, and for the next few days, whenever they were driving, he made her name each car they passed until he was satisfied that she could recognize every make.
It worked.  About a week later she bounded in with a pleased expression on her face...
"Darling," she said. "I hit a Buick!"
