September 15, Jacksonville, IL

As we were driving across Iowa this morning a pheasant flew in front of us and into a field. I haven't seen that for decades. Wonderful sight!

Another wonderful sight this morning was green grass in the ditches, fields and yards. We haven't seen it this green since the first of May. Also, real trees. Tall oak, maple, cottonwood, black walnut. Yea!

We drove to the childhood home of Phil and Don Everly in Shenandoah, IA this morning and it and the museum are closed on Saturday and Sunday. We did at least sing some of their songs to each other. Perhaps, not so good.



 We were driving into Clarinda, IA and there was a sign that said it was the birthplace of Glenn Miller. We wound all through town and finally found it but it and the museum didn't open until 1 PM and it was only 11.

Golly, the Mississippi is mighty!!!! It is always a thrill to see it.
