I MADE IT!

In time for Labor Day, a  week after I left central Texas, I arrived in Marshalltown IA to spend a month with my sister -- and to enjoy a short visit from my niece, Alissa.   And, eat my fill of Iowa beef and pork!

My last nite on the road was just a few miles down the road, but didn't want to pull in late, so stayed in Chariton, IA.  And look what I found on the night stand in the motel!  YUP!  A Gideon Bible.  I wasn't sure they even made these any longer --been so long since I've seen one!

                                      Welcome to Iowa!
