Movin' On

Last 400 some miles to Eau Claire today. Thought we could sleep in a bit this morning. I'd had too much caffeine too late in the day and having trouble falling asleep. It was shortly after 7 when the alarm clock started making noise-it wasn't really an alarm, but very annoying. I kept pressing buttons. Thought I had it under control. About 15 min. later-same thing. Turned on the light and moved every switch to off. 15 minutes later-same thing. Guess it's time to get up! Hit the shower and got dressed and headed downstairs for a cup of coffee. The same guy working the desk last night was there again this morning. He needs more training on breakfast, though. I asked him to refill the coffee. By the time I got upstairs, it wasn't all that hot. Brought a couple hard-cooked eggs and 2 muffins. Renee hit the shower for the day. I peeled one of the eggs and the color was not white but a yellow color to the white. I broke the egg apart and it was really green inside. Threw that one in the trash. The other egg was ok. Renee tried one once we got downstairs-hers was the same as my first one. She noticed more eggs in the trash there. Filled up my coffee cup and away we went shortly after 9. Renee motored us from northern MO to Albert Lea, MN. Gassed up there and I said "find the nearest Culvers!". I've been gone 7 weeks and don't remember when I had my last burger. Just had a snack pack. "Katie" scheduled us across southern MN on I-90 and then we took some county roads over to the Mississippi River. Roads I'd not traveled before. Up to Wabasha where the river is really high and some streets had been closed off. Across the river and Renee needed some fresh cheese curds and ice cream in Nelson at the Creamery. Again, I was traveling roads I haven't been on in years. Delivered Renee to Craig and Haley about 4:00. Headed on to Jim & Tootie's. She was working til 5. Met up with Jenny, Will, Megan and John James at Red Robin. Good to see everyone again. Will be back in 2 weeks for Haley's and Weston's confirmation. Brought in some show and tell for Tootie to view. I checked the mileage for the trip so far....still have another 260 or so to go. Get to collect "the boys" tomorrow, too! Missing them. Stay tuned for at least one more post-to make sure I get home, collect the boys and get unloaded. The best will be once the cactus is planted in the yard.
