I am on night 2 of my 3 day “midwest tour”. I have been doing some training for “the company” so I met with our Madison staff yesterday. I spent the night with Mom and Dad in Pecatonica. That was nice, since it hasn’t been just the 3 of us in 26 years (smile).
This morning I drove to our Waterloo station and saw an area of the midwest I had never seen before. Highway 20 between Rockford and Dubuque is some beautiful country. The area around Galena has some beautiful hills and scenic overlooks. Once I hit the Mississippi, it really changed.
Contrary to popular belief, Iowa has some beautiful country. Just not on Highway 20 between Illinois and I-35. I saw a lot of corn.
I am staying in Des Moines tonight, and head for home after my meeting tomorrow.
Sounds awesome! Sorry that David and I had to come into the picture and ruin what could have been 26 years of wonderful “one on one time” with the folks! 🙂

I can see just where you are in my mind–it is lovely country. Karen and I stayed in Dubuque a few weeks ago and enjoyed the town and the scenery.
Three cheers for Iowa!

hey carl! miss you lots! I just wanted to drop a note. I hope all is going well and I will probably talk to you this week. Oh hey, we are switching car titles this friday and I was wondering if you could have your title ready to go, signed and all, for Jeremy and me to run in.
Love you! take care!
