St. Louis

Mitch got the okay from the doctor, “The wrist is looking good”. It still hurts like heck and he can’t drive, but we left Orlando Saturday morning. With me doing the driving and Mitch doing the riding, we stopped about every other rest stop and only put on about 400 miles a day.

The first “big” stop--the St. Louis area to see my folks. We spent some time with my brother Larry Vern and wife Jan and then visited Mom and Dad. They are in the same care facility, Dad in the Assisted Living side, and Mom in the Nursing Home side. Dad is doing relatively well. We had a nice chat, but the memory goes immediately. Mom is stable, and with her baby doll seems calm and content.
