Sun. Sept. 24
From a sunny, but somewhat crisp MO,
I should clarify the above in that it was crisp when Jim and I walked this a.m. - about 7:30 - but I've not been outside much the rest of the day. It has been sunny.
The house is so quiet that even Jim commented this afternoon that it feels like a morgue. We are so used to having action - or pups on our laps - that their absence is very noticeable.
We added an extra block to our walk this a.m. and did the last part of the slope going south from Sixteenth street. We have yet to do the slope that comes up on the west side of Morningside, but that will eventually come. We actually did the slope without stopping and the rest of the walk seemed almost like a cool down.
We are packed and will put the suitcases in the car this evening as we will pull out of here between 5:00 and 5:15 to head to Laclede to meet the tour bus.
The major sight for Monday will be the Lincoln Museum in Springfield, ILL. We will then go on to Oakbrook Terrace (just outside of Chicago) and spend Monday and Tuesday nights at the Comfort Suites Hotel.
On Tuesday we are to first see the King Tut exhibit at the Field Museum and then will have a bus tour of Chicago in the afternoon - ending with the Sears Tower. Our evening entertainment will be dinner and performance at Tommy Gunn's Garage.
On Wednesday we will begin our day with shopping on the Magnificent Mile and also lunch and shopping at the Navy Pier. We have a cruise on Lake Michigan in the afternoon and then head back to Missouri - arriving supposedly just before 11:00 at Laclede (about 25 minutes from our home.)
I may or may not be on the internet on Thursday as if I can get my old body out of bed, I'll join the ladies for breakfast and then we pick up the girls about 11:00 - after a toe nails being trimmed and a good bath. We will probably spend much of the rest of the day with them - if they will forgive us for leaving them.
Be safe.
