Mother's Day Away From Home...just isn't the same

Omaha Nebraska

Day 44

Our oldest dog, Molly, (13 yrs old) has been shivering quite a bit lately.  I know dogs shiver when they are in pain, but the old girl seems fine in all other respects - especially eating.  I was thinking it must be the cold, but wanted to be sure that nothing else is going on.  The floor is cold in the RV, no warm basement below this house.  We have the heat on and it's nice in here, so it must be the floor.  To test this theory,  I let her sleep between Jim and I last night.  She fell fast asleep, snoring away,  and never shivered.

I spoke to all three of my grown children today.  While I was on the phone with my oldest, Paul, I dropped my cell phone into the dishwater in the sink.  I didn't think I could move as fast as I did plucking it out.  It is acting a little wonky (like dialing 99999999999 all by itself) but I think it will dry out all right.

We enjoyd a lazy morning here at the KOA then made our way over to Jim's brother's home.  From there we drove to visit dear friends of theirs at their lake house.  We had been to this weekend house several years ago when it was in its original condition, now they have just finished the second renovation.   Amazing what they have done, I felt like I was living a Home and Garden Channel program. 

By the time we got back to Omaha it was dinnertime and we had reservations at a lovely restaurant downtown.  Mothers' Day deserves a special place.  Our nephew and his beautiful wife were able to join us and they had  some big news for us.  They are expecting a baby in late fall.  What a lovey family this will be...some things you just know.

Anyway,  even though I ate halibut, the cheesecake did me in.  Ask me if I care.

Tomorrow we leave here and head south east.  However, looking at the weather tonight, I see chances of severe storms, including tornadoes in that direction.   Hmmmmm, may have to rethink this.

Till tomorrow....wherever we end up.
