Today (Grandma’s birthday) started with everybody assembling together at Thelma’s bed and breakfast - right in downtown West Salem. Bob treated us all for breakfast, like yesterday, but unlike yesterday, made it in before we all left! (He had company yesterday that delayed him…)
After this, Russ drove me up to Moline, IL, where I met my buddy Joe from Milwaukee. We drove back to WI, finished some last minute stuff (you know, like cutting the grass, packing, etc.), and sacked out to leave early next morning for the trip back to ID.
