Gearing Up to Go. . .

The Mountaineer is packed, well sort of packed. Still need to load the clothes, ice chest (shipping Pumpkin Bread and other goodies north), and a few other things. Got enough clothes to go to Alaska and back.

We will launch in the AM, already talking about breakfast at the Cracker Barrel in Denton, over to McKinney, pick 75 North, across the Red River and keep going north on Oklahoma 69 through McAlester on to Joplin, MO. Through Springfield on to Rolla for an overnight stay. Then through the bottom of St Louis over the mighty Mississippi on to Springfield, IL (Land of Lincoln), the dash to the Wisconsin State line and short trip to Madison. We will be there Thursday night in time to baby sit (the primary objective of the trip, ya know).

Carrying a bit of furniture, pictures and stuff. Now that Anne and Jake have a house, Mama is determine to get some stuff up there. Of course, Anne and Jake will accept just about anything to populate their big house on Keyes Street.

Speaking of Keyes Street, it has got to be about blocks to the Wisconsin football stadium. It should be interesting when there are home games. Like can you get in or out of your driveway? Or will you rent the space to some fan. Not like LSU where there is tons of space to park but the university rents it to you for unbelievable money - I mean a lot of money.

Well we will have been there and back here before that happens.

See ya around . . .
