It was a hectic Friday when we left Minnesota. Gary has the patience of a pigeon and so when he says go, we go. We made it to Champaign, IL the first nite. We found a LaQuinta. They take dogs and so we asked for the cheapest room they had and we got 2 double beds for the nite. We are used to a big king sized bed so a double is like a cot and when you throw 2 dogs in that must sleep right smack in the middle of the bed, it leaves us with a corner to hang off of. No worries, we were up before dark and out of the hotel before 5 am. No free breakfast for us. They didn't even have coffee made. There must be coffee or we ain't going nowhere. So Gary found a crappy little c-store by the hotel, we woke up the clerk and asked him to put the coffee machine on. This took him a while to figure out after he pulled his pants up. He was about 20 and of course being a chick magnet, he had to wear his pants down to his knees. What is up with that anyway? Could we have a new president that passes a law that you must wear your pants up high and no underwear can show? Maybe Michelle Bachman can use that for her campaign cause that is the only way she could possibly win. At least we don't have to hear about her sorry ass down here much. We really miss her. NOT.
So anyway, it was really dark, we got coffee and headed south. We got a little turned around when we left Mr. Underpants and headed south on a highway instead of the freeway but we were able to find the freeway again after about one hour. Gary says its my fault, I am pretty sure its his. I was going to ask Mr. Underpants for directions but when I saw he had such a tough time with the coffee maker I figured he couldn't find his car out in the lot much less a freeway.
We found another LaQuinta in Macon, Georgia after about 12 hours on the road. We all fell out of the car and had a wonderful supper of chicken wings and beer in bed. We were going to go out but none of us could get back in that car. Then we were off again Sunday morning for another 8 hours on the road to Cape Coral. We made it about 1 pm and all is well so far. There were a few bugs on the floor, we forgot to leave the frig open so that was disgusting but nothing a little soap and vinegar couldn't fix.
We're back, its in the 80s everyday and all's green. Mojo and DeDe want a break from writing this year, not enough dog treats last year, they are being babies. That just lets me write crap about them. We'll see who gets the last dog biscuit! Hope you enjoy our time together again, keep in touch and comments are always welcome, esp. nice ones. Keeping it real....Margaret
