Roadtrip…

Helluva road trip this was to wheel the 21
Miles of stop and go Sunday spring traffic in the heart of Chicago was a refresher
Entered the beast via i55
And NO toll roads!

Roadtrip…​

I gotta really process my next roadtrip Series6. My cousin Cindy's Memorial Service is on the 18th or the 26th of May is coming soon and will be in metro Chicago somewhere. The family can't decide which date is best. It's a 14-hour drive so there will be one or two hotel stays on the 1st leg and then the same way back to Texas on the 2nd leg.

She was 55 years old and my cousin Mark from Loup City was visiting her in Illinois over the April fool's weekend. They returned to her home from shopping all day and she fell to the floor dead. I honestly thought my cousin was playing an April fool's joke and i hung up the phone on him. The autopsy said she had a Widow-maker heart attack and killed her instantly.

I'm trying to keep it most Interstate so i can drive fast but i'm really getting tired of the speeding tickets. This girl suffered the most horrendous car wreck in Sandwich, Illinois about 20 years ago and survived. If you can zoom in her picture you will see the most unbelievable scars on her face. And now this….

Well I'm not sure. The only daughter wants it Naperville but Cindy's siblings want Aurora or even Omaha which is where she grew up. We'll see. And funny you mention Sandwich, Illinois, that's where her and he ex got hit by an uninsured motorist on highway 34. Completely totaled both vehicles.

I’m sorry for your family’s loss. I had to make a trip like that for my mom. Hours of driving remembering good times and others.
