Dark clouds...

We left Courtney & Matt's house around 9 this morning as the twins cried and said we should move there so we wouldn't have to ever leave. It's always so heart wrenching to go!  These dark clouds began gathering as we left Arkansas & drove into southern Missouri---within an hour or so they let loose & it continued all day long! The visibility was terrible! We drove for 10 hours before we stopped, & I was so glad I'd driven the first part of the trip, before it got as bad as it did!    We stopped for the night in Dubuque, Iowa, so we only have to take the bridge over the Mississippi River tomorrow & we'll be on the western edge of Wisconsin--a 3 hour drive to get across the state and we'll be home! :))
