Here’s a quick update. We left Virginia and headed up to Toledo, Ohio where we spent time with relatives. A little something we need to remember: turn out the RV lights. A dead battery affects many things, even being able to re-tract the steps. One of the highlights was spending time in Springfield, Illinois, birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. After reading so many good books about him and going to the Smithsonian exhibition marking the 200th anniversary of his birth, it was special to be able to view these historic places in person. For example, his tomb (photo) has a fascinating history---they couldn’t make up their mind where to bury him so he was moved several times and someone even tried to steal his body in 1876. Now it’s time to move westward again. We're at a campground, Jim is out building a fire and we’re in either Iowa or Missouri.
