After a wonderful visit with my younger sister and her husband, one of their daughters (my niece) and her husband, and my younger brother and his wife, I left Illinois this morning to continue my drive to Colorado. After driving 400+ miles, I made it to Salina, KS where I'm spending the night. My brother said it rained 26 inches in Missouri this past June so I wasn't surprised when, despite the forecast for no rain, it rained the last hour of my drive through wet MO; it continued raining through Kansas City and most of the way to Salina, KS. The midwest looks very green for August:) Friends tell me its also been a very wet summer in Colorado so I'm looking forward to green landscapes the rest of my drive:)
Having dropped the trailer in Illinois, I'm making great time and expect to arrive in Colorado tomorrow afternoon. I no longer need the trailer because I gave the furniture, rugs, shelving, and some baking supplies to family. It feels good knowing family will make good use of these things; even better is the freedom I feel with fewer material possessions. Can't wait to give away more when I get to Colorado:)
Still looking for a place to rent for the 5 weeks I'll be in Colorado.
