Well, the time is getting closer. Just a week from today, we will be packing Lydia and Jerry’s Flex and leaving East Central Indiana headed to Des Moines, IA and our first night out. We plan a short stop at South English, Iowa for a brief tour of Joyce’s Mother’s birthplace. There are still Brower cousins living in the area and the English River Church of the Brethren Cemetery is the final resting place of at least 3 generations of Brower relatives, including those who arrived in Iowa in 1854 from Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
We are in the final stages of packing…… guess which suitcase is which? Joyce’s? Bob’s‘
Which one owns this one? And whose would this one be?
Should be no surprise that the one on the right is Bob’s. He has been packed for 2 weeks! Joyce is debating about a lot of things…….which black clothes to pack. (ha) The real dilemmas arise from the huge temperature swings in our 30 day trip. Yesterday, Bob was talking to a Direct TV technician who was in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and she said it was 100 degrees. Today, the lows in Crater Lake, Oregon are in the 30s. What a difference several days will make. We can’t imagine how many jackets and sweaters to take.
CLARIFICATION: The photo in the last blog posting ( below) might be confusing. Not all those in the photo are going on this trip! Just 4 of us: Lydia and Jerry and Joyce and Bob. A friend noted that it was not clear that ALL of us were not going in the same car.
