Day 5 Travel Journal: The Funny Farm!

Feel free to mute my playlist at bottom of left column of blog

Considering what happened to us in Alburqueqe, I thought this cartoon would be appropriate today! LOL...
******************************************

Hello this is Silly Shelly coming to you live from Stanton/Meramec KOA & Crosseyed Cricket Canoe Company (yes, that’s really the name). We are roughly about 45 miles west of St. Louis, MO. Today was one of those days that all this riding started to drive me crazy that Jim and I both began to act silly. We would read some of the signs along the highway and make silly comments. Especially whenever we would see signs for towns that are normally known for other parts of the country or even other countries; such as, Cuba, Mo, or Las Vegas, NM. We would make the Bugs Bunny comment like the above cartoon! See I told you we were silly! We are losing it! Maybe I get my silliness from my mother. Whenever she’s driving in a parking lot and a person walks in front of her, she will say, “No points today for hitting pedestrians!” Now I find myself saying the same stupid comment!

For Jim and I it has been a beautiful drive. When you come from the desert you appreciate things like: trees, green grass, farms, cloudy days, rain, and even SOME humidity! I said SOME! I still have to get used to humidity. Let’s face it, today in Phoenix, AZ it was 99 degrees and 21 % humidity (high humidity for us). Here in Stanton, MO it is 64 degrees and 83% humidity! I was actually sweating! Jim loves it! His allergies are all cleared up… mine… ugh…! Another thing you may think is strange; today as we passed through Tulsa, OK, I interrupted my husband and screamed… “There’s water in that river!” Yes, people, I know, normally when someone sees a river they would expect to see water right? Not in Arizona! The Aqua Fria River in Phoenix really is free of water! So every time Jim and I would pass a bridge, creek or lake, Jim would ask me if there was water. In Oklahoma there was water, but it was muddy water.

Yes folks, Jim and I are having fun spending time alone and acting silly! I don’t think the animals are amused though. Every time we stop they wonder, are we there yet? Then Jim will start up the engine and poor Chenille will run under the couch, Kylie will jump on the couch, and Baby for some odd reason will jump off the furniture and sit on the floor panting and look sheepishly at us as though we are torturing them! Considering she has bad teeth/gums, she is torturing us with her breathe! Maybe we should have a sign on our RV saying, “The Funny Farm”!

Well, tomorrow we hope to be at the Buckeye Lake, Ohio KOA Kampground. Until then, this is Silly Shelly and Jarhead Jim signing off from the Funny Farm!

Thank you for your continued prayers! They are truly heartfelt!
