We're getting settled back in at home, and it seems like I'm getting new technology at an alarming rate! LOL! (I don't do very well with getting new tech toys!) I have a new laptop computer which I just got ydy. I have not even turned it on yet but I did just now plug it in! Progress! It's an HP with lots of HD, 2GB of RAM and a big screen.

I also got a new cellphone, because the Treo's touchscreen stopped responding to my touch. It, too, is a little computer, with Pocket PC Windows in it and I like that. I made my first phone call today, to Michael! Hey.. gotta find the fun where we can!

Here are some photos from when we were in Forest City, Iowa. We were waiting for the service people with other Winnebago/Itasca owners. We made friends and had a really fine time!





While we were in Forest City, I did my daily walks with Maddy, of course. I love this photo that I shot along the way.


We drove on up to Waseca, Minnesota, claiming the award for being the first of Robert or Molly's family to visit them. Robert's my brother! We had a really fun day, touring Molly's Walmart, seeing their fine home, and walking around the town. We camped at Kiesler's Campground, a nice place:



Back on the road, Michael and I stopped in Morton, Illinois. This is the town where Michael grew up and where his parents lived till 1990, so there are plenty of memories for both of us.



We walked down to the street where Michael's parents lived, and the new people were outside. They invited us in for a tour of the beautifully updated house. What a thrill! Maddy waited for us outside, tied to a tree. :)
