Home We departed Nebraska City at 8:30 AM, looking forward to our drive home after traveling almost 10,000 miles and being gone 81 days. Nebraska City is located near the northern Missouri border, so we quickly found ourselves on I-29 in Missouri. Missouri has the best highways of any state we traveled this summer. We made a couple of rest stops, and bade farewell to the Todds just north of Kansas City. We filled up with gasoline at Gainesville, MO, paying $2.199 per gallon, our cheapest fuel of the trip, arriving home at 5:45 PM. We found the house to be in great order, but weeds had taken over our garden beds. After flushing the tanks and unpacking the bare necessities, we savored the wide open spaces of the house, and marveled at the size of the 46-inch HDTV. It’s good to be home.

Kay’s Take It’s amazing how clean a house stays when no one lives there! We cleaned it from top to bottom when we left because we were hoping we would be having several guests, but only one group came during Labor Day. Glad to be home but I can honestly say I haven’t missed the humidity at all! LOL.
