Missouri on My Mind...

Somehow I think that's another song...

ILS and I had a great breakfast this morning. It's like we've known each other forever... but , of course, we have! We talked and talked and talked for about an hour and a half. Yesterday we talked about Deadwood, today we talked about us... I didn't hit the road until 10:30.. waaaay late for me, although I no longer have a compunction to jump up at 6 and hit the road early..

thank goodness!

Here's one of the things I like about the midwest. Yesterday I went to the market to pick up my ice and fruit and stuff. I saw some Halloween lights and decided to send a couple of strings to my nephew. I got the lights, picked up a mailing envelope, and, as I was leaving, noticed that there was a POST OFFICE IN THE MARKET!...

sigh...

This is what the rest areas look like in Missouri. Again, I am reminded of the states who want you to come and visit. They make you welcome...



Missouri is a beautiful state. Green. Tree laden. Until, of course, you get near St. Louis, and then I was in TRAFFIC for about 45 minutes getting to this campground. It was worth it. I'm staying here for 2 nights (!) because I can't get to see St. Julien until tomorrow... it will be worth the wait.

I met a little couple here with the CUTEST trailer... They are from Alabama (peebs!) and we talked and talked for a long time. I've convinced him they need a computer. I showed them all it can do. We talked some more... Look at this little trailer...



aren't they cute!!

So...

I'm off to shower and read and stuff.
