winding down

We are in Cumberland and will be here for two nights...
Reflections...
Good Bad things that happened on the trip:
1. Forgot the piece I needed to transfer pictures to the Ipad, but figuring out the solution and resolving the issue was interesting and alls well that ends well.
2. Did you near about Chet loosing his cell phone in a Kansas rest stop?...well he didn't know he lost it until Justin called us to tell us someone had the phone. It seems a man found it in the parking lot and started calling numbers until he got someone...so if you had a missed call from us a few days ago, that may have been the kind stranger. We called Chet's phone and made arrangements with the phone finder to meet at the next rest stop. Nice man...hopefully we can return the favor to a stranger soon...pay it forward:)
3. Linda got stopped by the Idaho state police...this was the conversation:
Police-Mam do you know why I pulled you over?
Linda-Yes, officer, I was going too fast.
Police-Yes Mam, you were doing 73 in a 65 speed zone. Where are you folks from ?(We had given him the registration and drivers license)
Linda- Maryland
Police- What brings you to Idaho?
Linda-Well, we are on a 40 day/40 night driving trip fro our 40th wedding anniversary and we are on our way home from Alaska.
Police-(smiled) Sorry to have delayed your trip. Have a nice day!
4. Chet would probably include camping:)

  1. I L-O-V-E #3. I can just see Linda now. What a wonderful trip! I couldn't be happier for the two of you. What a great way to celebrate your 40th. So, how are you going to top that for your 50th? I might add, the best part is the last two days spending it with "the boys". Have a safe trip home from Cumberland.
