Day's 10 & 11
Wow, I miss a day and my fan base turns ugly on me! Actually, there wasn't a lot to report. I did get pulled over by a lady between Springfield and Poplar Bluff. A lady cop with an attitude, I might add! (no tickets though) and then I got pulled over for doing 78mph in 55mph zone by two county sheriffs. They couldn't figure out how to write a ticket on a car that wasn't in their system, so they gave me a warning and then talked for twenty minutes about AJ. I did make it Des Arc, MO. Where I visited my Aunt Francis, who drove from St. Louis to see me and AJ, and my Dad's grave. We lost Dad last summer to cancer and this was my first opportunity to return. I miss Dad terribly, he was my best buddy. For those of you that didn't know him. He was a WWII veteran, a survivor of the battle of Midway. A great grand father and husband of 63 years. Just an all around great man. Tomorrow is the next to the last leg home!
