Nearly There...

Tag has really enjoyed his visit to the Airstream factory this year.  Other Airstreamers stop to pet him and tell him how cute he is, and that always makes for a great day for The Corgi. He also got in a few fetching sessions to  help him blow off a little steam from being in the car for extended time.    Now, he's ready to pile back into his traveling spot as we drive to LaSalle, Ilinois. It's our last stop before we arrive in Wisconsin, and it's about a four hundred mile drive from Jackson Center. We're leaving early so it's still light when we arrive.

Once night closer to Wisconsin...where we're looking forward to seeing this face...

and these sweet faces, too!   We're anticipating planned family picnics, time with friends and even a few  festive celebrations. We have lots to do when we arrive, and we'll be really busy.   I'll be spending time with Mom Grace, Aunty Margaret and Uncle Dick, as well as my British aunt who's visiting from abroad. We've got plans to spend quality time  while she's here in the states, and we'll reminisce about my recently departed uncle. I know Aunt Annette misses Uncle Johnny very much, and memories help us both.   My friend, Kathy and I have already set the date for our quilt shop hop this year - and I wouldn't dream of leaving Wisconsin without seeing my BFF, Lee. There will be many days devoted to catching up with our sons and their families, as well as a baseball game (or two), music at local clubs and other local trips hither and yon.    We've made plans for nieces to come from Minnesota and central Wisconsin to our campsight, and it will be nice to find out (in person) how they're doing. I'm sure  the time will fly as we try to pack as much activity as possible into our limited time.

So, another day came to a close at the TerraPort, and only one more night before  we arrive in our familiar home state. We're very happy. We're nearly there.
