I am not sure if I meet myself coming and going. I left Springfield, MO
on Aug 1 for Los Angles. There I meet with some friends in San Diego,
built a storage loft for my son in Long Beach, did a brewery tour in
Eagle Rock, visited with a new grandson then drove to Sunnyvale to visit
with my mother for a few days. Last Thursday I headed home to
Missouri. Four new tires, a tow, being the second vehicle at a traffic
accident, and three days and 2000 miles of driving I was in Missouri
late Saturday evening. Then Sunday morning our son called to say his
wife was in the hospital in grave condition with a 50% chance so by 11
we were in the car heading to North Carolina.
The next several days included a lot of time in the hospital as she
started recovering. There was a minor setback last night but she
continued to improve this morning and as we have to get a grandson in
school tomorrow we headed back to Missouri. After another 1500 miles I
am planning on not going anywhere for a while.
