Looks Like We Made It...

Brynwood Needleworks - Illinois Sunset

 

This is a photo of my last sunset from the road this trip. I stopped three hours short of the farmhouse. I really didn't want to get home in the dark, so I overnighted in Rockford, Illinois. I've traveled with my Corgi nearly 1500 miles, with only two nights on the road.

I'll write more about the last day of our trip for my post on Monday. To tell the truth, I'm a bit tired right now. I'll unload all of the things that were packed in my rental vehicle, then clean and return it to the Milwaukee airport. My Aunt is going to follow me down and then bring me back home (bless her heart). Then, I just want to put on some comfy sweats, make a cuppa tea, cuddle Tag, and rest a bit.

I thank God for bringing me safely home. All I now ask is that He watch over my Beloved and The Black Dog until they're safely back home with us.
 

Turning For Home...

This is the view from our camper at our overnight stop.

We pulled into D & W Lake RV Park in Champaign, IL our first night moving

south. Although it's not far off Interstate 57, it's very quiet and peaceful. We stayed

here previously, and it's such a nice place that we looked forward to returning.

When we make single-night stops, we keep the truck and Flying Cloud hooked up.

Because most of Illinois (at least around the Interstate) is flat, this plan works well.

As Handsome made camp for us, I took Tag for a little walk along the lake.

The wind rustled through the cattails and the sun shone like a warm welcome.

We walked in clover and thanked God (and Handsome) for another safe day of driving.

Tag is the greatest "traveling dog", but I think he was happy to

be out of the truck, snuffling in the grass...and getting his dinner!

Hump Day, and we should make it more than half way home today.

It's so much fun traveling in our comfy home-away-from-home, but

Handsome, Tag and I will be happy to sleep in our "big" bed soon.

There's no rush, so we may yet take a little side trip. We'll decide 

along the way, and I'll be sure to let you know how it goes.

Thanks, as always, for traveling with us. We enjoy having the company!
