Awake: 6:10am     Temp 78     sleep 6+10     fog....sunny     overnight @ Greenfield, Indiana.

We both had a good night's sleep so after our coffee, we left the Heartland Resort @ 8:19am, continuing on I-70 east. Down the road a bit, we decided to make a stop @ Wal-Mart in Reynoldsburg, Ohio for some milk & a few other items so that when we arrive in Nicktown, we won't have to go grocery shopping the next day.

Kathy stretched her legs & went into Joann's Fabric store to check out their buttons for future use on free hand embroidered shirts for our grandkids.

Then we continued following I-70 going thru Washington, PA & bypassing Pittsburgh & eventually @ Youngwood, PA, took a short toll road which connected to U.S. Route-22 to I-219 north; then a short stretch on U.S.-422 east, & State road-553 to Nicktown....arriving home @ 5:32pm.

We wanted to try this route of bypassing Pittsburgh but, I doubt that we will do it again. We also fueled up @ Bentleyville, PA, getting 165 gal of diesel @ $4.09 per gal. My 1st time of paying over $4.00 a gal for diesel fuel for the motorhome.

Today's travel: 421 miles    behind the wheel=7+57    69 gal used    6.1 mpg    53 avg speed. 

(2) stops en route. Total mileage out & back = 3,455 miles.

After parking our coach, we both looked over the brickwork the guys have done. It's looking good. Then we started to take many things out of our M.H., & put them in our house.

Dinner: Crab cakes, asparagus, rice with golden raisins, mixed salad & a peach.

We called Melissa on our cell phone & found out that she is getting better.

We finished watching the "Dream Wife" with Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr, Walter Pidgeon, Betta St. John, etc. Silly bedroom farce about Grant's engagement to Middle Eastern princess and interference from his former fiancée Kerr, a state Dept. official. Cast is wasted. 1953. ½ of a star & yes, the cast was wasted.

Lights out: 11:43pm.
