Moving Right Along, Good Times
Well, we made it to Kansas.
We haven’t seen hide nor hair of Dorothy or the Great and Powerful Oz, but as we eased on down the road we did see something that surprised me. And filled my heart (this is the heartland you know) with hope. Miles and miles of power generating wind mills.
We also passed a giant turtle and a buffalo mama and her baby on the side of the road, but the images, taken from my window as we zipped by, were merely blurry blobs on the shoulder of life’s great highway.
Next stop, St. Louis, where I got to visit with my college pal Jennie as we waited for our turn to go up to top of the arch. I don’t know why, but she passed on the chance to join us on the journey in this tiny tin can of a tram.
It was cozy, in a stop the spinning pod I want to throw up kind of way.
For the record, 2 days down and no plugging in of the children into the electronic media. Our road trip mantra: so far, so good. And so we press on. Next stop: North Carolina to see our friends the Eagans. There are cows to be milked, horses that need a’ridin’, and chickens to be fed. Or something like that.

Go Bieners go! What a great adventure for the girls! I think this has become a real rarity these days where flying is the norm. Good memory-making.
