Day 101 ( Is this a book for dummies?)
The rest area at mile marker 104 on Interstate 70 East, Missouri, really was a rest area. Extremely quiet, and no overhead floodlights to bother us.
A very good night’s sleep, despite the rain which woke us in the middle of the night.
Then, it was off to Mother in Law country!!!
!50 miles of farmland, rolling meadows and hills, with farmers scurrying about on their combines, and haystacks everywhere. We actually noticed the fall colors had started to appear, seems a bit early.
We landed in Ballwin, St Louis at noon, and all the neighbors came out to stare at the huge behemoth parked in the road, blocking everything.
After a light lunch of turkey and grapes, it was out to the back patio and a fight to the death with some wasps.
With the aid of a step ladder, a stick and a can of bug spray, Marlipops and your fearless captain prevailed. They didn’t have a chance.
Then, luxury of luxuries, a hot, steaming, high pressure shower. I could have stayed there for hours!!
We had a pleasant dinner in an Irish Pub, fish and chips, which was good, but not on a par with those of Alaska.
Afterwards, we didn’t do much of anything, except chill and watch TV.
We will be here for a couple of days for a much needed break.
Wildlife watch today, was some squirrels and a bright green hummingbird hovering around Wilda’s back patio.
