Glub, blub\u2026.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not just Keloland dealing with torrential rains. We\u2019ve been seeing the same guy with the long white beard\u00a0 gathering up animals two by two all through Iowa, Missouri, Illinois and Kentucky as we continue our trek to the east coast.<\/p>\n
There was a\u00a0 break in the storms long enough for us to stop in Springfield, Illinois and spend some time going through \u00a0the Abraham Lincoln home where he and Mary Todd lived for 17 years before they moved to that bigger house in Washington, D.C. never to return except in a box. Speaking of which, Lincoln\u2019s tomb is equally impressive.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re off to Lew-ah ville today to see where the thoroughbred horses run for the roses and sometimes die in the process. Denny and I wanted to tour the Louisville Slugger factory where they make the famous baseball bats..but that brought a rather indifferent response from the back seat so I guess we\u2019ll press on arriving at our destination Thursday.<\/p>\n
All diets are off as the four of us load up on snacks at most every gas stop and snarf them down like we were in the last days.\u00a0 Have any of you tried the caramel Bugles? Oh, my gosh..that\u2019s the greatest combination man has ever come up with using God\u2019s creations of sugar and corn.<\/p>\n
Haven\u2019t have an internet connection since this morning and now there isn\u2019t time to post any pictures but will later. \u00a0I\u2019m sure you\u2019re all anxious to see Mary Todd Lincoln\u2019s actual indoor toilet.<\/p>\n
Until then, keep your powder dry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
