On the Road AGAIN!

On Sunday we attended met up with most of the family again to attend Church with Mom.  The Pastor had us all stand as he honored her many years as a wonderful mother, friend,  and a lifelong Christian woman.  I felt very proud to be able to stand with the rest of the family as he gave her this honor! 
What a pretty girl!

Melody, me, and Mom - after church and as Bray and I prepared to leave!
 Bray started out with the idea of taking a picture of a McDee's in each state that we crossed.  Here is the first of many she took - and then they just got away from her!  There were almost as many McDee's as there was corn! :[)

A really neat farnhouse surrounded by corn, corn, and more corn!

We spent our 1st night in Peoria, Illinois, our second night in Ogalalla, Nebraska, tried for our 3rd night in Salt Lake City... When we got there - a storm was brewing and it smelled so nasty that we decided to try to go a bit further - our bit further ended up being Elko, Nevada.  We saw lots and lots and lots of corn.  and HOT, it was 107 at 5:30 or so in Omaha,  100 or so in Salt Lake City!  It was just to hot to take our time and sightsee - so we just kept on going!  The Great Salt Flats had us both wondering what we were driving thru  - we saw lightening out on the lake when it was just hot and smelly in Salt Lake City - so we had to do some looking around!











And we made it back to Oregon!   All in one piece!

We went a lot of miles in a very short period of time!
