We left Blue Springs right around 9 am, had light traffic most of the way. Stopped in Joplin Missouri for gas, coffee (at Flying J), and an RV Wash (Blue Beacon next door). The line to get washed was a little over average, taking nearly an hour to get through, but at least our baby motorhome is clean again!
Stopped in Alma because Marcia’s first husband has a cousin living in the area, Jim, the son of Sophie whom we use to stop and see every time we were in the area. Jim and wife Pat came over from Fort Smith to the Cracker Barrel, and we all enjoyed a nice two hour visit with dinner.
Yesterday I picked my youngest son Ryan up at the KC Airport, flying in from a SACA meeting in Milwaukee. Ryan is the chapter president of the Student American Chiropractic Association for Cleveland University - Kansas City. He loves it anytime he can be an advocate for the Chiropractic field. He graduates next April.
His dad, however, needs to learn how to take “stealth shots” with the camera better…this is him getting in the car at the airport with guards looking at me with that “You have 30 seconds at the curb buster” type of look.
On the drive to the airport I was able to get this shot of the Royal’s Baseball field…tried to get Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Chief's too, but this is the best I got.
Just before I went out to get pictures, this truck pulling a small trailer pulled up. WHY they felt so compelled to park right next to us, is beyond my comprehension. As of now, I don’t know if they are going to stay the night or not. It is not that this was the only spot available…there is an empty spot right next to it, and the parking lot is not that full. I know they have a small black dog, it stared at me as I took Skruffy and Bubba out for their last walk of the day…big buggy eyes, did not bark, just stared. Hoped that the rest of the family, “IF” they stay the night, are not loud either…but they came out of the restaurant, got the dog, got into the truck and OFF THEY FLEW! 
I don't understand why people want to park so close. Maybe they are used to being in houses just three feet apart ... or RV parks just two feet apart. I always go for the farthest away spot and definitely not next to someone. I'm that way even in the truck stops! Glad they left so you had a quiet night.
ReplyDeleteAt least they left for the night...
