God, the RV & me

  The saying is "Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes" but it actually has over 21,000. It is a beautiful state and we have enjoyed our week's stay.   I wasn't able to get the real state sign, so I took this off of the internet. Our Prior Lake, Minnesota site for last week. The clouds Us at the RV site with the casino in the background. Mystic Lake Casino and a little bit of Gus. On Father's Day, hubby and I went to the Mall of America. It used to be the site where the Twins (baseball team) and the Vikings (football team) played. Guess they wanted a new stadium and behold a HUGE mall was born.  Fun fact: the mall is the largest mall in the country and is 4.2 million square feet. Let's just say, hubby and I got our steps in that day. Tim, our son, and I like to share pictures of Bigfoot. Look who I found at the mall. Tuesday, hubby went into the office. US Bank's home office is in Minneapolis. Interesting fact about Minneapolis is that turkeys are everywhe...

Since January, we have been in twelve states (starting in Texas) and have driven 3400 miles. Our map is getting full. People often ask me which state I like the best. I have a hard time answering that question because each state has its own personality and beauty. Right now, if I were to choose which state I would want to buy a house in, so far it would be between South Dakota (the Black Hills area) and Kentucky (Louisville area). This year has been full of fun and excitement. It was amazing to spend time with family and friends. See the amazing sights the Lord has created and watching Him fill the sky with color. We have had our range from snow, rain, wind and seeing the wonderful sun. It is hard to just pick out one thing that stands out above the rest, but a huge highlight was being able to see the grandsons in March and April. During the...

Chatham and Springfield Illinois were a great place to stop for a week. We were on part of Historic Route 66, saw Abraham Lincoln's tomb and his house, went to the pool and played Putt putt. Now as you are reading this, we are in Wisconsin for a week. While here, I am determined to eat as much cheese curds as I can. More on that on the next blog. State Sign Our site last week. God is just creative with His clouds. We actually drove on Route 66, it was very cool. This is a hotel that is on Route 66. Love this pink elephant. Where we ate on our last night in Chatham. Lincoln's tomb People like to touch his nose for luck. This vault held the remains of Abraham  Lincoln from May 4,1865 to December 21, 1865. This is Abraham Lincoln final resting spot.  Replica of the monument of the  statue in Washington D.C. This is the cemetery where Lincoln's tomb is  and it is a very large and nice cemetery. Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln's home in Springfield, Illinois  Putt putt...
