Chicago.....I'm on a Mission from GAD

This morning was a bit of a challenge...the rain once again caused a leak, but this time at the head of the bed.  What a rude awakening!  This was most likely due to the sideways rain.  4:00 a.m. was my OMG what a rainstorm with that crazy lightning and thunder - this time for 3 hours.  I decided to just clean up the bed area and pack up the RV and head toward Chicago.

I went to breakfast at Gramma's Kitchen.  Worst coffee ever.....Gnomey agreed.  Notice he is not touching it.  I had an "all American breakfast" - eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, a big bisquit and a bowl of what I thought was oatmeal at first...it was gravy with pork and a lot of pepper in it....ewwwww.


Here is Gramma.  She is not looking well....perhaps she is bored just sitting there handing out her "to go" menus.  Hang in there Gramma.



Here are some signs for sale.  I really like them and how they resonate with my journey.

 

This is the "World's Largest Truckstop" in Iowa.  Check out the sign....a beauty contest.....for trucks!!!

 

 Made it to Villa Park, Illinois.  Here is Keith's mom Julie, Jennifer's mother-in-law and Kylee, her granddaughter.

 

 

Here is Isaac, Steve and Kylee.

Kylee just had a blue lollipop.  Can you tell?

 

Hey!!!!  Gnomey found a friend.  I saw them napping in the garden.  The one on the right is looking fondly at Gnomey.  Awwwww.

 

The industrial fan is blowing a small tornado inside the RV, making sure it is staying dry and comfy for tonight.

 

Love,
