My last post talked about my good-byes to Drew and Kayley. Well.....it has been so nice in Iowa that I didn't take off for Arizona as early as I anticipated. So, I had time to squeeze in one more trip to Peoria for another good-bye! I left Friday morning for Illinois with a two hour stop at the outlet mall near Iowa City. Arrived in Peoria about the time everyone was getting home from work and day care. It was so great to see Drew and Kayley one more time! We had a really fun week-end. Saturday morning Megan and I and the kids went to look at granite for their kitchen. We then made a few stops at different stores for some items and returned home in time for their afternoon nap. That evening we went bowling which is always a favorite event for Drew. He ran to his room for his "bowling" shirt when Megan said we were going. This time Kayley bowled and had a blast. She did very well thanks to some help from their friend Wes. Both kids scored over 100 so I was glad I wasn't bowling to get embarrassed!
Sunday was another beautiful day for mid October! We packed a lunch and headed to the park. Drew rode his bike all the way to the park. Grandma was in power walking mode to keep up with him! We carved a pumpkin in the afternoon and grilled chops for dinner. I hated to see Sunday come to an end but all good things must end. I left this morning after everyone left and made it back to the farm around 1:00 P.M. Mark is out doing field work so I haven't seen him yet.
I leave for AZ on Wednesday. I plan to stop at Matt's in Omaha that evening and then head out bright and early on Thursday for Tucumcari, NM. Long day, that one! If all goes as planned I should be at our Phoenix home late Friday afternoon. Here's hoping for a better winter for you guys staying in the midwest! So long...
