Always??? take the scenic route home??

Silly Waves (it's what our family does)

Hard to say our good-byes.

I blew Sophia a kiss as she was still asleep.

I didn't wear my "scenic" tee on my trip home.   It is one I like to wear because I "always take the scenic route"!  But not this day!!  Sadness.

This day I would try hard to make it all in 1 day and stay on main roads.  I couldn't take chances on sight-seeing on off roads with the temporary fix on my tire.   If you read my earlier post, you will have read that I had a tire with a leak.  The tire guy found a screw in it.  Al didn't want to purchase a new tire in Wisconsin, because this was a new tire and he knew he could get it fixed or replaced here at home.

When Allen drives with me, we have often driven the Wisconsin-Kansas roads all in 1 day.  But I have not done it on my own.  I am blind in 1 eye and am not supposed to drive after dark since I find it hard to judge distance.  But being summer, I knew I could do it all in daylight if I kept to it with few stops.

I had this verse tacked on my dashboard.  Yes, He IS with me!  What assurance!

This station wagon brought back memories!  We had one back in the day.  It was what Josh first drove to school in!

Pretty fields!

I have a beef about these highways that have vertical grooves.  It seems like the car wants to wobble around.  I cannot keep the car in a straight line!  Why do they make roads like this?

Oh my word!!  GAG!

Adam had filled up at a gas tank where someone had placed this sign.

It could be worse.  There could be NO gas.

"IN ALL THINGS, give thanks."  Mighty hard sometimes, Lord!

I sang along to oldies '60's and '70's music.  I listened to political stations and to sermons.  Soft "spa" music and jazz.  And sometimes I just talked with the Lord.

I only stopped 3 times, which I know is not good.  I always have tried in the past to get out of the car every 2 hours or so and walk around to prevent blood clots.  I checked the tire each time and it seemed to be holding!

I was getting close to home!  We have many trains!

 Most of the wheat was harvested already.

A pretty sunset greeted me as I drove into our development.  Oh, it was so good to get home!  Thank You, Father, for safely seeing me home!  Several people were praying along with me that the tire would hold.
