Iowa is "CORNY"

We stayed in a lovely little campground last night, kind of an out of the way, off the beaten track town called Avoca. It had been such a hot day, and when we arrived we were the only ones at the park. Later, three other rigs pulled in...We sat out on the grass just as it was cooling off. All of a sudden the trees were alive with sounds...I think it was locusts....maybe katydids, I don't know my bugs very well. It reminded me of Erie on those hot evenings when we were kids. Very charming!!!! The only thing missing was the lightening bugs. Terry and Taylor just visited Erie. Maybe they Experienced the same thing.

Today we drove to Davenport, Iowa. We saw miles and miles and miles more of cornfields. If corn/ethanol ever becomes the fuel of choice, Iowa will be the richest state in the nation!

Tomorrow we will end up in Elkhart, Indiana where there is a Monaco factory...we have a few odds and ends that need to be taken care of on our RV. While there we intend to drive over to Kokomo, Indiana for a little reminiscing. That is where we lived for a year when Vern was in the Air Force, and where Lori was born. Lori, tune in for pictures.

I won't blog for a few days, since we will be mostly just heading East. In the evenings I will be trying to finish Vern's second sock that I am trying to teach myself how to knit. I finished the first one, even though it looks a little pointy on the toe...maybe he can take up ballet!!! It will be interesting to see if the second one remotely resembles the first. Ellen, help!!!!!!!

Till next time,

Mary
