Sunday night Trisha, daughter, phoned to say they--she and Brady and Tanner--had no plans for most of this week. And.....they were going to come to Cape Girardeau to see Ashlynn and Zade, Darin and Sarah.
Jan and one of her friends are going to pick Mom up at the care center tomorrow for a dental appointment. Thanks, Jan, and Ann, for coming to our rescue.
Trisha and boys will be arriving about 10:30 tonight. Ashlynn and Zade get to stay at home to play tomorrow!
Not "The Amazing Race", but "The Great Race" arrived this afternoon in Cape Girardeau.
Quoting the paper--"What is the Great Race?
This year's Great Race will follow the Mississippi River from St. Paul, Minn., to Mobile, Ala. Drivers will arrive today in Cape Girardeau for the fourth leg of the nine-day event. The Great Race is an antique, vintage, and collector car endurance rally that takes place on public roads. It tests the driver and navigator's ability to follow precise course instructions and endure a cross-country trip The race is not a test of top speed; teams are required to drive at or below posted speed limits."
Following are a few of the cars involved in the race. The numbers of cars involved in the race is limited to 100.

I know of one fan, Glen H., that enjoyed seeing and admiring the cars. I didn't appreciate all of the details that Glen did, but it was still fun seeing the cars.
Monday: Glen and I chauffeured Mom to the foot doctor yesterday, then treated her to lunch at Panera's. I know she didn't know where she ate or what to order, but she still enjoyed the meal and being away from the care center.
In the afternoon Glen drove one of the tractors, pulling the "tedder". The "tedder" conditions the cut hay before it is raked into winrows.
We had a great visit with Jan and Bruce in the evening.
Tonight: we are looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
