Driving Day 7 - Memphis to Troy, IL

Today was another 5 hour drive day and nothing eventful happened.  The weather was very comfortable and we arrived in Troy at my brother's house about 4:00 pm.  We visited with him and Sherry, then went into St. Louis for dinner at Landry's.  Sherry's daughter Jill and son-in-law Christian joined us.  We had a very delicious dinner and wonderful conversation.  After dinner, we stopped by Jill and Christian's for a short visit.  Christian is a hunter and we got to see the elk and the deer that he shot and has mounted - very beautiful animals.  The elk was bagged in Colorado and the deer in southern Illinois.  Tomorrow, Tony & Sherry have an outing planned for us and we'll treat them to dinner.

Sorry I didn't get our trip to Memphis posted until just a little bit ago.  I was trying to get all our pictures organized so I could link them, but it was getting late and I was tired.  There are a lot of them and I will get them linked before the weekend is over - I promise.

Does anyone remember that I mentioned putting an offer on a house the day we left California?  That one fell through as another offer came in that netted the seller a little more money, so she went with that one.  But...  there are 2 other houses on the same street and the same floor plan.  One was priced at $230k - too high.  The other one is a short sale and I'm in the process of submitting an offer on that one.  It will take a while before I know if it's accepted or we have to negotiate, but I'm in a good position in that I have time on my side.

That's it for now - sleep well.

  1. That was exciting! Can't figure out how to see your pictures. Might have to wait until you get home. Gas here was 2.99 At Arco!
