6/14 through 6/16, 2024
6/14: We said goodbye to Susan and Bob (Britches) and Mike (Imagine). When you have service work done at A-RV, you spend a a lot of time together in the lounge. (Each day you are there, lunch is provided---ordered from various restaurants). So farewell to new friends!
We made it to Watseka, IL for the night. If you are from the Midwest, tenderloin sandwiches are a big deal. We found them at Watseka Table Restaurant. These bun-sized (not oversized) sandwiches were good. Our spot for the night was a Walmart parking lot near the train tracks. We were the only RV, but there were many semis.
6/15: Since we were passing through my hometown of Pekin, we decided to visit family graves, first in Henry and then in Pekin. It had been three years since Ron and I had visited their together. (Ron had flown in for a funeral earlier this year). Of course I had to get my fix of Avanti's bread. We had a meal there and then bought 3 loaves to go. We attended our former parish in Morton, Blessed Sacrament. Didn't recognize a soul there, but is was a different service time than what we usually attended.
Does it sound as if food is our passion?
6/16: It was a long drive to Graham Cave State Park, MO. We took the ferry across the Illinois River (Kampsville Ferry) and a second across the Mississippi River (Golden Eagle). We opted for a campground with electric since the temp was 99. Tomorrow we head for the Truman Presidential Library.
Duke loves campgrounds!
