Homecoming

Butch and I went to Devon's homecoming parade in Ogden IA last Friday. I was remembering how the weather was a year ago. There was a cold north wind and we were trying to get sheltered by a building while still being able to see the parade. This year was very opposite; everyone was looking for a patch of shade. I did see a forecast that promised a warmer than normal fall for the entire country. That would be different.


 Sometimes it is all about the car!

And speaking of homecoming, we experience it twice a year. We come home in the Spring and then we go home in the fall and honestly that is how it feels both times. Last year at this time we moved into the motorhome early because we didn't want to winterize it and the temps were getting low enough to be a worry. We still plan to move into it well before we go but so far we are not feeling pushed into it by the weather. We are less than a month from takeoff and it hardly seems possible.

After the parade, Butch and I went to Boone taking the old 30 highway. It is always a nostalgic trip for me because as a youngster Mom, Dad and we three kids, Theresa wasn't born yet, would go to Boone to the Drive-in theater. And this was the road we took because New 30 was not yet in existence. It is a beautiful drive.
