Hi All: Well, we got to Marengo, ILL about 1330 I think. Trip was uneventful. We did go the long way around to keep from driving thru Chicago, and trying to keep off of all the Toll Roads up here.

When we got here I found that we did not have Harry's phone number. I have it in my land line phone at home, and Guess what?? It is still at home. When we got here and I got some things set up and I got on line, I sent Harry an email asking for his phone#.. Wonders of Wonders, he calls me on our cell phone and told me he sent the number online, but was afraid I may not check the mail. Any way, we got set up and went and had a nice visit with Harry and Alecia. We have set up a dinner out tomorrow with them at a Steak place we went with them the last time we were here.. Looking forward to it. Told him the dinner is on us, and he says NO. So it may be interesting when the check comes. I think I may be able to beat Harry???? hee hee.. Good luck Harry. hee hee.

I needed a new head for my electric razor so we found a Walmart with Alecia's directions, but , They did not have any new heads for my type or razor, SO, I have a new Fathers day present. A new razor... My old one would not cut my tough whiskers?? And Amy complains a lot. hee hee.

Since Amy took no new photo's today except a couple State signs I am enclosing one of when we left New Castle. They had just set up some cones on the hiway coming out of the campground to keep traffic in one lane. Well, they left no room for us to come out of the campground. I hit one of the cones and tried to not run over it, but if you look close it is under the frame of the tow dolly. When I pulled in to get gas someone came over and told me I had a construction cone under the car. Could not get it loose, so I continued down the road. I watched to see if I could see it come loose but never saw it.. When we stopped at a rest area I noticed it was gone. Hope it didn't hit anyone....

Well, we are here, and eating in tonight. I get to have a "Toddy" tonight also. Will try to get some photo's for the next blog.
