We just completed three days "on the road" driving from North Carolina to Rock Island, Illinois. Driving into our first night's KOA we had to stop our 41,000 pound vehicle in order to rescue a box turtle meandering down the road. Even though I am NOT fond of picking up nature's "wild" creatures I was designated as the rescuer. Gingerly I grabbed him around his middle and quickly set him by the road's edge. He was more than happy to waddle swiftly away from the diesel "monster".
The KOA campsite was a quiet respite from the interstate travel. The next two days flew quickly and uneventfully blew us into the Quad Cities. It was here that we encountered our first storm. Where do you go when the tornado alarm begins to blare in your area and the local TV station warns everyone in "the following counties" to head for the basement, and you have no basement? Casting glances at each other we sat in bed, watched the broadcast, listened to the wind and pelting rain and determined that was the best we could do at the moment. Of course, our quiet moments were filled with prayer! We did go out the following morning and buy a weather radio so at least we would be informed in order to have time to put our seatbelts on if ever a tornado decides to "move" our RV.
In two days we open our storage unit to discover treasures I packed a year ago and make decisions about "what goes where". Heads up to all our children-get ready to receive stuff!!!

Great pictures, mom! I am surprised you picked up the turtle and that dad had enough time to stop the RV! Funny stuff.
Hi Nancy! It looks like you're having so much fun. I got put in charge of the blog now, but just saw your question about Moody. It was a really nice campus and I liked it. But, I think it might not be the best fit for me. -Lilli
Sounds like you guys are having a great time! I'm excited to hear more of your adventures in the future.
