Well, I find it harder all the time to write the blog. Will try to list our travels on the 15 days we came from Clarinda.
This is as we arrived Sunday evening - parked the trailer next to our Mobile Home so can move stuff over.
We left Clarinda Sunday noon October 18th and stopped south of Kirksville, MO where we visited our youngest granddaughter Emily and her BF Vince.
We then went on to Jefferson City, MO and toured the Missouri State Capitol.
On Friday we toured the Tennessee State Capitol there in Nashville.
At left is Mike Snyder who I have always enjoyed.

Of course, this is Loretta Lynn.
We drove from Nashville down the Natchez Trace Parkway southwest. Took many photos of trees as the leaves were very colorful. We got off the Trace near Jackson, MS and did a tour of that State Capitol. Stayed one night at camp just north of Jackson - went on to Hazelhurst, MS and spent couple nights in yard of Phyllis' cousin Stan Runyan and his wife Ann. Toured the library on Co-Lin College where a 50-year history display was set up.
Drove further southwest on the Natchez and spent one night near Lake Charles, LA before getting to Galveston where we parked in front of cousin Ruth Sunderman Davis' house--we stayed in her house while it rained the entire weekend. Her sister Janice Sunderman Asfor flew in from San Francisco and the three girls had a fun weekend remembering growing up near Clarinda, IA.
Sunday morning we drove from Galveston to Rockport, TX and ate lunch with Don & Bessy Runyan who had just arrived the day before at their winter home. We made it to our Kenwood RV Park just at sunset on this first day of the regular time set as Daylight Savings had ended that morning.
Have drained and re-filled the water heater (Smelled bad as it has each fall and this flushing helped greatly in that respect) Mosquitoes are huge and plentiful, probably because of all the recent rains, got as high as 87 degrees today.
Maybe more later, Lynn
