This is a multi-part blog entry, so it'll be easier to read...
Tuesday was it - We were heading home. Julie led us to COFFEE! and went on to work. Michael and I had a lil breakfast then took off for home. He was awfully quiet all the way home. Until we left Iowa, the interstate had little else than the same "scenery" - corn and soybeans.
I decided I wanted to take a slightly different route - I remembered US 75, which runs much closer to my house, went all the way to I-35 South. So, as we drove I looked for it. Sure enough, I found it and exited to take it south. Did you know that on US 75 and several other highways, Iowa and Missouri use a pinkish material to pave their roads? Until I got to Oklahoma, 75 was pink. Made me wonder...
Taking this route turned out to not be such a bright idea. It changed directions and I had to turn right, left, right, and I missed a left... And the left I missed cost me time and gas, which caused me to worry about whether I'd find a gas station before we run out of fuel! I did... We got home last night around 10:30.
One final note: Today - Wednesday - a girl Michael met at the theater Saturday asked Julie to give him her phone number, so she texted it to me. I told him to bring me his cell phone.
"Why do you want my phone?"
"I DON'T want it - a cute blonde asked Julie to give you her phone number."
You'd have thought he was the Road Runner, he moved so fast!
Rock on!
