Good morning, such a beautiful day, just like yesterday, sunny and warmer. Very nice out.  We are going to pack up and head for Sterling IL today to see family and friends.  We have to stop at the license bureau first though and try to figure out the license for the camper.

This is Tiffany at the license bureau or DOR (Department of Revenue).  She has gone the extra mile to get this straightened out for us.  We spent about an hour here and most of the time she has been on the phone with Arizona, California and Nebraska, all of which have to do with our camper.  It is quite complicated.  She got it figured out though, she thinks.  She has to get something from somewhere so we can get our camper registered and licensed.  She also told us it would probably take a couple weeks to get this done.  Guess we can wait.

These wind farms fascinate me.  I am just amazed how big this things are. From a little distance they look average size but if you see a blade or the box they attach to, they are humongous!!!  This wind farm is about 30 miles south of Sterling and from there down to Peoria there are hundreds of them.

This is Linda and her sister Marilyn.  We try to always get to her place to visit.  Marilyn lost her husband a few years back and she lives with her son Kirby.  Didn’t get his picture though, maybe later.  We had a nice visit but after all the excitement at the license bureau and the 7 and a half hour trip here I was pretty tired and needed to get this old body some rest.  Oh, just to add a little to this we watched the weather forecast and guess what?  It is supposed to get cold….and SNOW!!!  Can’t believe it, it was 70 degrees almost all the way back here….We will see what it does in the morning, time to get some sleep now….If you read this Charlie I think you may be right, this is following me all over the country…
