1st long day

We left at 9am this morning, it took forever to get through Evansville, IN... they are always working on the roads and blocking traffic.  It was nice using the KY parkways and then we went N to I-64.. poor Peter had to drive for a long time today... got here to the rv park just w of st louis and gave him a good dinner.

We're working on the phone and fax to get all the data to the funeral home to be able to get all things done for the cremation and internment for Mom.

The dogs have been very good traveling all day, we did stop a couple of times, giving them a much needed break to stretch their little legs.

The RV is driving nicely, we are seeing alot of flooding in the fields, we crossed the Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri rivers today and each were flooded.  We saw houses and barns stranded, roads going off into the water with no end in sight.  All the water is muddy and there is lots of debris; consisting of logs and branches floating though and under the bridges.

The weather is great, up into the 70's today, of course we're down south to a certain extent, but now we're going out on I-70 toward the mountains and I'm sure it will get colder as we go.  I told Peter that he'll have to pull out his warm pants and stop wearing shorts.

Looking forward to seeing my newest grandson and also the other grand-children too.
