We are staying in a wonderful municipal campground without WiFi; our neighbors are a Mennonite family who sang their morning devotions - quite a contrast to the drunken balladeer of the night before. Tomorrow we head to Birchdale, MN which may mean that it will be the 25th before we are back on line.
That is our 46th Wedding Anniversary. This trip has been an interesting experiment in married life. Mr. Toss-it-in-a-Pile is trying to cope with Mrs. Everything-Has-its-Place, and vice versa! We are having a very good time: combining Bill's "Zip-through-all the -Sights " approach with Judy's "Let's -Savor- this- Place" approach. As in all of life negotiation is fruitful.
We have enjoyed your comments. Maybe next week we will figure out how to respond to them along with determining how to place our pictures where we really want them to go.

We are glad that you have posted. The Iowa troop checks in every day. Lynley leaves for Iowa tomorrow. So today will be spent packing. Bill is watching your progress from Mary Jo's house. Sam has his first scrimmage tonight. He is starting on both offense and defense as well as being on all special teams. I hope you packed your Go Hawk gear. Happy anniversary! Unfortunately I have to start back to school on the 25th!
What wonderful images of your trip this evokes! I am so happy you are having such a lovely time. ~Terri
By the way... your anniversary falls right on my birthday! At the risk of dating us all, I turned 12 on the day you married. ~Terri
Dear Bill and Judy,
Here’s an odd coincidence: you hit Midland and Traverse City, Michigan— Roger Pancost, formerly of Sherburne, 10 miles north of Norwich, is the pastor at the U.C.C. church in Midland, Michigan which, somewhat like the museum, originally had the support of Dow Chemical folks. And, of course, one of the previous pastors at Midland was Kent Ulery.
Then, you went to Traverse City. The pastor of the ELCA church there was the
ELCA pastor in Norwich up until about 3 years ago.
As we used to say in the theater business: it’s a tight circuit.
This seems like an exciting, wonderful adventure!

Dear Bill,
You probably know about this. It's an e-mail from Becky Wright.
