69 degrees here in Cape Girardeau, MO at 7:50 am Friday.
Left our home in Clarinda, pulling our trailer, about 11:15 am on Tuesday. Got to Harold & LaRhoada Neher's just east of Hiwawatha, Kansas, a little after 2 pm. Picked some really large red apples from one of their trees. Then visited and played a few games of Pegs & Jokers (Harold's favorite game) before supper that LaRhoada had prepared. Always enjoy her good cooking!
Wednessday morning she had prepared an egg casserole along with cooked apple slices and cinnamon rolls. Visited a while and were on the road by about 9 am.
Drove in rain for several hours, until a ways east of Kansas City, MO
The entire 440 miles driven Wednesday had the most colorful trees we recall from any Fall. The full color does not appear on these photos. (Click on them to enlarge)
After setting up the trailer in Cape Camping RV we spent a few minutes with brother Don & his wife Vicki at Chateau Girardeau care facility they are living in. Don hardly spoke a word, then or on Thursday. Vicki was stressed out about several things there at their facility.
We visited a bit yesterday morning with Don & Vicki and then returned to pick them up at 4:30 pm to go to the Cape Girardeau Country Club where we met up with, and had dinner with, Mary Jo and Mike Diamond. The Diamonds are handling their mail, taking them to church on Sundays, and generally helping with things they need at The Chateau.
We returned to our trailer last evening after delivering them to The Chateau. Will pick them up areound 10:00 am this morning to do some shopping and then eat lunch. Will let them rest some in the afternoon and we return there to eat with them at their facility at 4:00 pm.
Plan to leave Cape Girardeau Saturday morning. Will have roughly 1100 miles to go and will overnight at Texarkanna, Arkansas Saturday night and at Goliad, Texas Sunday night -- arriving at our home in La Feria, TX by midday on Monday.
Later, Lynn
