Leaving Springfield area

We had a nice lunch with some friends yesterday.  Ted had lived at Reynard Arms Apartments in San Diego after he got out of the military.  Fran had also lived at the apartment building.  She is married to Paul and they invited us to their home for lunch.  They lived in various countries over seas for many years teaching English and then settled in Missouri when they decided to stop teaching.  They have recently purchased 10 acres of land to build a hydroponic gardening system with their son.  They want to sell their product to local organic grocery stores.  They are definitely keeping busy.  Paul barbecued hamburgers and we had a nice visit.

Today we leave Springfield and go east and a little north to Long Lane, Missouri.  Bill and Ginny also had an apartment at Reynard Arms.  Bill was originally from Missouri so when they decided to slow down, they moved back here.  I say slow down because he is still binding special papers for dentists.  Long Lane is a very small town and we will park in their yard.  They have 300 acres, a lot of it wooded, but plenty of room for us to park our RV!

Not sure how many days we will be there, but we won't have cell service (unless something has changed since the last time we were here).

Still missing our sweet Max..."Ain't Life Grand!"
