We left home at 7:11 AM (hoping that time is a good omen). The temp is -17 degrees. We've decided to celebrate the first time we hit temps above freezing.
Our first stop was in Iowa a couple of hours later. Along the way we saw a lot of cars and trucks in ditches; evidence of a prior storm but we had great road conditions today. Predictions of good weather ahead. We stopped again for lunch; eating tuna sandwiches I brought from home in the car at a gas pump. The food in the guas station looked awful.
We intended to spend the night in Omaha but got there about 2:00 so decided to keep going to Grand Island, NE, Howard Johnsons.
Thankfully, our neighbor called us and left a message that we had left our garage door open at home. I couldn't believe it! Of course, we gave him our code and he took care of it.
