Day 217, August 26, 2015 Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky

Up at 6 am but hit the snooze.  It got down in the 40’s last night and I’m all snuggled in the blankets.   Perfect!   Don’t want to get up.  But alarm goes off again so we are up.   It’s currently 48 degrees in the lovely town of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  Greg and Precious are looking forward to going south today.   She doesn’t even want to go out and pee but get under her blanket in her basket.   The heater is on now so they should warm up soon.   

Made it to Oak Grove, Kentucky before stopping for the night.  Got to get up at 6 to get to our destination by 1:30.  Still have about 320 miles to go.  

DG:  All’s good.  Temp in the 70s.  

It’s nostalgia Wednesday as we are watching the first Star Wars movie. Awesome effects. Just awesome. 

Annie is hooked on Pinterest so our conversations now are about the meat and the wired things one finds on that site. 

I never cease to marvel at the site and feel of Kentucky every time we cross the state line. There are other places in this country that are so different and breathtaking in their own right but Kentucky just has a look and feel like no other place on earth. Is it because I was raised here?  I don’t know but I definitely feel a connection with the landscape. Like a mother with open arms ready to give you a big hug is how I feel when I see her. Yes, the state is a she as it is a life sustainer. 

Tomorrow will be here soon so off to bed and dreamworld.  God bless.
