HOME

Thanks, you must've been praying. We arrived home safely about 1:30 pm today, went to see Tommy and he seems to be comfortable. We're glad we're here for whatever happens. Jerry will go back to see him tomorrow and also Monday to talk to the hospice nurse.

We had one close call on the Interstate around Indianapolis when we came upon some boxes which had fallen off a pickup truck and were laying across the left lane and half of the next lane over - which was our lane. A semi was infront of us and slowed down and swerved to miss the boxes so we followed him and kept going. The pickup was backing up (!) and going to remove the boxes?? I'd say it was the makings of a many-car pileup but don't know if it happened or not. There was not heavy traffic which might have saved the day.

We also traveled a short way on the Pennsylvania Turnpike - toll road. We entered through the EZPass which accepted our IPass - then exited in the cash lane. DUH! The guy wasn't real happy with me (wouldn't you know it, I was driving!). We had to take down our transponder and give it to him to scan so he would let us go. Oh well, we're just a couple of country hicks trying to act like we know what we're doing!
Love you all, Ada
