ahh

Yesterday we drove 400 miles and I was beat.

When we lived in Texas it took 3 -- 600 mile days to make the trip. Our car did not have AC nor cruise.

To do 600 miles in a day you have to be actually driving, not counting stops, for almost 12 hours. We would try to be on the road by 5 in the morning with a lunch and hope to arrive at our goal town by 7 or 8 in the evening. Get up the next day and do it again, 3 days in a row.

We made that run about a dozen times. Once we flew to Linda's college graduation, it took 4 hours.

That was 20 plus years ago. I know I could not do it now, AC, cruise or fab stereo.

But it is good to be home, no matter where that home is!

And, we don’t have a garbage disposal, WHEW.

Just knee high dandelions!
