On the Road Again

Well, big surprise!! Robin and I are headed west again. We are in Springfield, Mo tonight and will be in Santa Fe on Thursday to link up with cousin Alden and old friends in NM. Today we passed right by the Arch in St. Louis. Tonight we ate at Lamberts where they are known for "Throwed Rolls". Yes, they throw them across the room to you. Last time I was there, I ordered pork jowls. I didn't make that mistake this time; I ordered pork chops.

We are driving out in our 2003 Mountaineer. This was our retirement car which we bought brand new a month before Robin retired. We drove it out to California via part of old Route 66. Now the vehicle has 100K miles on it and we are retracing the same route. The Mountaineer is like an old friend to us and has taken us to the 4 corners of the US and much of Canada. We will pass through Las Vegas and will arrive in Pacific Grove, CA on Sunday night.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!
