A Whirl Wind Tour….

We just returned from our 2nd spring trip. The trip was to the same place that we were too three months ago, not to much imagination under the old skull cap. It was time to bounce our grand daughter on the knee and to give a little r&r to her parents.
So we road tested our new used car and it proved worthwhile taking us down and back throughout the heartland with only one problem, a flat tire.

Question - where do you pick up a nail on the interstate?

We left in 30 degree temps and were treated to weather in the high 80’s.
Get this, it was warmer in Kansas City than South Beach – Fla. As we crossed the Missouri River Bridge from Missouri to Leavenworth we run into a swarm of little flying thing that turned the car color from white to black. Welcome warm weather a true sign of spring is crap all over our windshield.

The days flew by as did some miss placed golf shots. There is a ton of rust to get off the game before the boys hit town (Tom & Fred). We then headed north driving to Omaha and missing a Toto and Dorothy cyclone by a few hours.
It seems that the mid May twister season seems to be happening early this year really nailing the lower midwest. In Omaha we had a small family reunion, the other side of the family, then headed home for the good night’s rest in my own bed.

I have to admit it was nice waking this am to the sound of 3 pairs of loons battling for the summer fishing rights to our lake. Quack-quack!
