Each journey starts with the 1st step


Great day dawning: bright sunshine, 70's forecast! Worked 1/2 day and watching the clock for the countdown. The official photographer came before launch time and took photos of Thelma&Louise leaving the building and the parking lot.


Lunch in the car on the road--7/11 comes in handy for pepperoni rolls.

I-75 to I-70 2 states down and I haven't thrown the phone out the window yet--but time will tell.
Forsythia out, flowering crab, daffodils and tulips as well as some yellow ground cover. Nothing as scenic as this stock photo.

Stopped at Webb Antique Mall in Centerville IN lots of advertising in the trade press--but I was disappointed. It was dirty, dark, lots of empty booths and tons of glass and dishes. But we managed to find 2 items to buy.

Gas was $3.45 a gallon.

Overnight in Terre Haute and dinner at I-HOP. Now Louise doesn't have to listen to me complain each time we may pass one. She decided we'd get it over with and let me feast on chocolate chip pancakes!

No sight of any earthquake damage, though they said it was felt near Centerville and across into Ohio.


On to Kansas and eyes alert for twisters and Toto!


Reminders: April is National Volunteers Month, National Autism awareness month, National Library Week, Secretary's Day; Child Abuse Awareness Month, Donor awareness Month and a great time for a vacation.


Pix to follow as we take them! Adios!

Thelma & Louise? Not the most auspicious comparison. Just stay clear of sharp drops. And bon Voyage.
