On Saturday morning I headed to Indianapolis and spent the night again at my old high school buddy's (John's) house. He got out his yearbooks and we spent hours laughing and reminiscing. So much fun.
On Sunday John and I met my cousin Amy (and her husband Roger) for lunch on Butler Campus. Amy grew up in the same town John and I did so there was a lot of reminiscing at lunch, too.
Amy and Roger:
John and me
After lunch, I hit the road heading home. I was going to stop in St. Louis but changed my mind and decided to keep going towards Colorado. I made it to Topeka and one of those Kansas tornado-like storms came along so I found a Best Western Hotel and stopped and got a room (it was about midnight). I got in the room and got ready for bed -- I propped up some pillows and was going to check emails before going to sleep -- and two HUGE bugs crawled across the pillow. I am scared to death of bugs, especially HUGE ones, so I started screaming and you've never seen anyone gather their things and vacate a room as fast as I did. The hotel clerk kept saying, "It's just beetles," and I told her the only beetle I wanted in my bed was Paul McCartney! She did not think that was funny.
So I made it back out to my car and the storm was still raging so I didn't dare try to drive anywhere. I decided to just sleep in the car. Ugh. I decided to check emails and had an email from my real estate agent telling me there's been an offer on my house. Exciting news.
Monday morning around 6AM I got back on the road heading home. One of my favorite places to stop is Colby, Kansas because (1) it has a Starbucks; and (2) it has a tropical look:
I got home around 2:30 in the afternoon, hugged my boys and called the real estate agent. The offer was really low so we sent back a counter-offer and I'm waiting for a response. And getting a lot of sleep. Glad to be home.
