First of all I wanted to thank all of you who took the time to come to the party, call or drop by the house to say good-bye to us. It's been particularly hard to say good-bye to family - I especially have trouble articulating my feelings, I'm just too good at stuffing them inside. I guess at some level it really isn't good-bye it's just so-long until the next time, but right now it seems so permanent. So to all of you - we love you and keep us in your minds and hearts until we see each other again!
On a lighter note: We hit the road this AM with a truck and pulling the car on a trailer behind. As I write this we are sitting in a Comfort Inn in Cheyenne Wyoming - our goal for the day. The highlight of the trip so far has been turning around in Cabelas' world headquarters parking lot when we overshot the Perkins in Sydney WY. Cabelas' has a campground, we could have slept in the car - oh wait..... the car is full!
From Helen:
Only wildlife sightings so far has been several acres of adorable Prairie Dogs! (the larger variety of the little buggers that dig holes in Leawood) They do at least have mounds, so you don't step in holes. I am sure the farmer that owned the land loves them - or was it a Prairie Dog Ranch and that was the feeding lot????
Also a rather small flock of Wild Turkeys - and of few deer resting by the side of the road.
Pretty uneventful in the animal division.
Weather has been sunny and windy and a little rain as we headed into Cheyenne, but only enough to smear the bugs on the windshield.
All for now, the "comfort" of this inn is calling!
Pictures tomorrow - promise (maybe)!
