On our way to Texas

Heat wave here in Marengo, IA - is at 41 degrees - the cold front came through Clarinda late yesterday afternoon.  Was 37 when we left Clarinda this morning.

Not too much to report now.  Stopped at Osceolo, IA about 12:20 for some sliced beef sandwiches at Arby's and a fill-up of gas -- at $2.269.  Have the trailer still hooked to pickup, setting in Cam & Pat's driveway where we will stay until Monday morning when we head over into Illinois and go south to visit a bit with Marty McCormick.

Patty just got home from work and we expect Ashley and Great Granddaughter Jessica soon.

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A widower who never paid any attention to his wife while she was alive now found himself missing her desperately. He went to a psychic to see if he could contact his late wife. The psychic went into a trance. A strange breeze wafted through the darkened room, and suddenly, the man heard the unmistakable voice of his dearly departed wife. "Honey!" he cried. "Is that you?" "Yes, my husband." "Are you happy?" "Yes, my husband." "Happier than you were with me?" "Yes, my husband." "Then Heaven must be an amazing place!" "I'm not in Heaven, dear."

  ----------------------- Wife: "Look here Mike. See how Mary's husband takes her to movies and dinner every week end. Why can't you do that". Mike: "Sure dear, anything you say. Just make sure that Mary is free on the next week end."
