We're On Our Way; We Won't Look Back; and If We Stay, We Won''t Come Back

We're going and we're gonna have a happy time. Anyone else remember the Muppet Movie?

This morning Carol and I loaded up the Subaru, hooked up the camper, and hit the open road. Carol's husband Tom took about 84 photos of us before we left. We drove from Saint Paul to Lexena, Kanasas - 441 miles. We ran into blowing and drifting snow in southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. But the road cleared up by Des Moines and we had clear and slightly warmer weather the rest of the trip. We stopped in Albert Lea to see Violet Kalis. Pat used to work for Violet's husband Henry Kalis. We had a great time and Violet was a charming hostess, as always.

We stopped only to gas up and restock with water between Albert Lea and Bethany, Missouri. We stopped at the Toot Toot restaurant in Bethany for hot sandwiches - pork tenderloin for Pat and cod fish sandwich for Carol and fried cauliflower.
