Travelling the roads of the USA.
As you can see by the pictures, we did cover a lot
of roads within two day, twice.
I guess the thing I learn was, there is a lot of
RECOVERY money being spent on the highways.
Yes, it is paid by us. But it should have been done
over the past 10 years and that too, would be on us.
That is what we were told all those taxes on our gases
were for. So one way or the other we pay.
The other is how much money I saw in farm equipment
and it was being used. While the dairy's seem to be
pretty quiet,....soybean, corn, and sunflowers are surely live and well.
We also saw how different life seems in the mid-west than
here. We found Wisconsin, like Idaho use to be years ago.
It was wonderful and if we were 30 years younger we would
really seriously think about moving there. Small towns,
Mom and Pop business, and even the attitude is laid back.
When we came home, we expected the house to look like it
did when we left. When we walked in, I am sure we looked like
the families on Extreme Makeover. The rug had been shampooed.
Our couch was gone and a new on in place. In fact the whole
house was clean. Like maid service. Even one of my troubled
plants was repotted. We were blown away. Seems that a few
people wanted to surprise us... and that they did.
Thank you so much, L, S, and G. It is great to have friends.
And it is great to be home.
